Thank you Daniel and Karin for your generous comments.

Interesting and evocative shot.

The raptor tax. Good luck to him.

It took both the chook and me by surprise. Hence, only a very quick snapshot.

Thanks Rejith.

Very nicely done.

Raymond, Hannu and Rejith - thanks so much for your feedback.

Thanks Jim. Hope you have a great Easter.

Thanks, Pierre.

Maybe not so much cute as impressive. It measures about 10 cm between the eyes across the top of the head.

Thanks Grayham. However, being obstinate and slightly paranoid, I think I will persist with watermarks.

Giangiorgio and Grayham - thanks for your kind comments.

With regard to the watermark, I spent 8 hours enduring  huge swarms of mosquitoes and armies of leeches in 33 deg heat and 90% relative humidity to get these images. Additionally, I have made a significant capital outlay on equipment. Taking photos is my source of income. Many of my shots have been "stolen" from the web (even by government agencies). While I can understand your point of view, I also understand that once an image is on the web, it's out there. If people want to steal the results of my labour, at least they will have to do a little bit of work in PS themselves. If someone removes the watermark, there can be no doubt that they were aware that the image is my copyright. I think that given my personal circumstances, any other approach would be naive in the extreme.

Thanks for your comments Gabriel and Ilona

Thanks for your kind comment Scott.
Re watermarks - I've been burned too many times not to use them.

Thanks for your generous comment, Hannu.
