After a polite request to remove all the images from the site in question, and receiving no response thus far, we have taken a different course of action with immediate effect.

Also, to offer best protection in future does anyone have any advice, for example size and resolution of images, to watermark or not to watermark etc. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
