That's the idea, I was trying to overpower the sun. The watermark is there for a reason, I have it attached to all my images that are uploaded to the web.
Watermarks need to be distracting and its not that bad, you can still see whats going on in the image. Your just using that as a cop out.
Sorry, just had a bad day and don't feel like hearing bull.
OK...I went to your Flickr photos. I only offer C&C from the perspective of your average photo enthusiast. A tad grainy in some pics. The lighting doesn't add much - just illuminates. From the view of how a model might have posed, I think they would look nicer if you used some of the standard poses.
