Boy, those watermarks are incredible! Great work!
A suggestion, if I may, maybe include some photos with your watermarks? Run with it...
Well, given your comment I'm a little confused. I'm guessing that either you think my photos just plain suck period, or that maybe like some people here you simply don't like the use of watermarks and this is your "cute" way of saying so? I'm rather hoping it's the latter, but whatever...
For the record I do my best not to make them too blatant and obstructive, but no, I will not just give up using them. I have good reasons for doing so, and ego has nothing to do with it. I don't have too many photographs that I consider sale worthy, yet, but I've actually had one good photo lifted and put up for display and sale under someone else's name.
To their credit the site hosting it took it down immediately once they realized it was stolen. But that little lesson really stung and I have not forgotten it. I never used them much till then, but you can sure bet I do it routinely now, whether the photo truly deserves one or not.
A watermark is only of limited help that way, I know, but it's better than nothing. I don't object to them myself if the photographer is careful about placement. I do try not to make them too obvious, but I also have to try to make it as hard to clone out as possible. It's a bit of a delicate balance and it's admittedly one I haven't gotten completely right sometimes.
I'm very sorry if my using them bugs you, but as much as I'd like to oblige folks who dislike them, I'm afraid I like keeping what little control I can have over my photos that are posted on the web just a bit more.

It's the latter, I couldn't get past the obnoxious watermark to look at the photos constructively. But hey, to each their own.

We've heard this time and time again, "my photo was stolen!" ...
Ok, buck up and get over it. Cars get stolen, houses get broken into, songs get pirated, etc.
The ONLY sure way to not have your photos stolen is to never put them on the internet for public viewing in the first place. Adding an obnoxious watermark only serves to deter lazy thieves, good critique, and many views of your work.
Just my opinion, do what makes you feel good.
I've decided to leave and have so deleted my stuff. Bye.
I personally think using a pm system to tear apart another person shows a true ugly side of that person.:x
Although I know it bothers you (it would me) know that there are those of us who enjoy seeing you on here.
Its unfortunate there will always be that one in every crowd. Keep your head up. We like seeing you here.
