Corbis Images

So anyone checked their site?

If you search fencing under the sports section you get some cool shots of the recent OG and some older ones.

Thanks for the links Achilleus. Really cool photos. It's a bit of a shame they plaster their logo on the images though.

It's a watermark to protect their copyright.

I believe it's possible to buy rights for the image, or a poster, or other format of the photo without the watermark.
