    It's easy for anyone to copy these images and you've allowed access to large images. I noticed in that gallery that viewers can select up to the X3 size, and with screen capture tools I don't think anyone will buy. Try reducing the maximum viewable size to Medium and use a watermark.

    Marlow thank you for the advice, you are probably right. Next time one of my galleries numbers starts to explode I will take your advice......This gallery is finally on the decline after several unbelieveable days. Total for the last 7 days is 1,514,000. But only 80,000 so far today so looks like it has run its course. Did make about 250 dollars though, best a gallery has ever done for me. Selling images on the internet is certainly going to be a learning experience for me for a long time!

    Nice photos! I'm in Ocean View, near Bethany Beach, and went out for a little bit after that storm but just took a point and shoot. I love seeing the beach with snow on it. But you do need to watermark them if you don't want people doing a screen capture.

    If you've had that many views and had large images available, I'm willing to bet some publications and media have taken them and used them for commercial purposes without your permission. Looks like one heck of a storm! We had one down here too in North Alabama. And I got together with a bunch of Subaru owners and had some fun. :D Check it out if you want:
