Good news? Bad news? I'm not sure.

I can only assume that Bret Cox, the owner of the L-39 which I photographed last year put up this pic. I gave him a CD with all the pictures on it, and told him he could do what he wanted with them. And, there you go.

Looking back, I wonder if it's about time that I start putting a watermark on my pics, or in some way, protecting them. I've been completely casual about this to date, since I am on a ten year plan (four years in) to maybe make a living at this sort of thing down the road. I originally thought that during my learning time, I would not worry about who saw or used my work, because I was more interested in getting my name out there as I became a better photog. Looking back, maybe  that was a mistakee.

Anyone know if I can get photo credit for the pic that is up there?

This is problematic:

"Source: Own work"

You need to contact him and tell him to update that entry on Wikipedia.  At the very least, you need to be credited as the photographer.

I just did that. He's a nice guy. I assume he will.

Moving forward, I am considering using the Gnu free documentation license on this pic. It seems that it will always provide me the proper photo credit I want. Anyone here ever use this?

It is a beautiful photo of the L-39.  You definitely nailed it.
