   What an utterly gorgeous image. I think my jaw actually dropped a little when I was looking at it. About the signature: I totally understand the need for tagging a photo with a signature. It does not bother me much, alltough perhaps I'd like to see the signature a little lower than this. Then again, I'll rather keep seeing images that are this good with visible signatures than not see them at all! :)

   This instantly took my breath away. MasterChief, who is photographing whom? Is there a self-timer involved? Additionally, I don't mind artists signing their work. I'm sure a Rembrandt painting wasn't ever refused because it bore his signature. Call me a heretic, but I cloned the photographer out of the image. I think the photographer's presence makes for an interesting element. It would certainly be called for in a framed enlargement; however, as a desktop wallpaper I'm going with the scenery itself. Perhaps later I will change my mind. Please know that I am in no way questioning your artistic integrity. Your work is beautiful.

   Simply beautiful, must have been breathtaking to be there in person. The signature only shows up in a few particular resolutions, which kind of defeats the purpose of it being there in the first place. Maybe a small transparent watermark would be effective without detracting too much from the image.

   masterchief you're right, and not only on deviant art. try to google the exact name of a picture hosted here (including for example 02768), and you have a lot of results. but i have to admit, a signature is something quite odd for this website. surfing here is about to find something really clean, a high quality image without anything but a high quality image. macdesktops put a watermark in every image, top left so in theory under the menubar if not translucent. but this is not something i like, and i haven't take a look at macdesktops maybe since 2003. plus (i consider you one of the best here, just to let you know) i have to say i didn't download the image just because of the signature, even before reading comments. it was something i usually do automatically, seeing a piece form you and download the higher resolution of it, even if, eventually, it will be never used as a desktop background. i agree about the needing of some kind of protection. tin eye is not enough to let me say 'you stole this', but a signature is too much. metadata could help, but those could be edited. it's a real issue, and i don't have an answer. i will keep to support you, but sadly i can't see any sort of signature on these perfect shots.

   Kallinan InterfaceLift should put a watermark in all wallpapers. I had seen guys uploading these wallpapers in devianART as if it was from them, they just change the name. Thanks.

   This is absolutely stunning. I wish I had some place like this close to me. Here's to being there! I don't see any way it could be improved. Excellent!

   You captured a great sunrise - the clouds in particular were fantastic. Small nitpick... I think the photographer's signature in the bottom right takes away from it. We're used to such clean images from InterfaceLift.
