I agree with a couple posters on here. Watermark is absolutely okay, they're your work... but putting it in strange places throughout the photos is somewhat amateur. No professional types his name in the middle of a picture.

They should either be imbedded in metadata, or in one of the corners.

atleast their easy to remove.

I kind of agree...

a) this is my personal blog - it's not so much a watermark and more my signature. I'll sign where I please.
b) these are personal photos
c) www.5byseven.com/blog - my watermarks here are always in corner :)
d) I don't find the places where I put them all that strange. There's a design reason behind it.
 
I don't see the problem? If you don't like the watermark just remove it. :rolleyes:

i just noticed my wallpaper didn't have the watermark. thanks so much, bud. wonderful stuff. i love nyc. i sometimes visit my sister who works for the UN.
 
ya theres no real point to having your name right in the middle of the picture. you totally ruin it that way. i can understand you dont want anyone to steal it but no one will put it as there wallpaper with those watermarks on it. if you just want us to look at it and critique it then thats fine.
 
Watermark is fine by me and well deserved, excellent work Mikee.

Thanks :) Glad you like the photos

a) only a couple had the name in the middle of the photo
b) it wasn't about stealing - who puts stuff on the internet and worried about image saves...
c) it was 12pt font
d) do you buy art with the artists signature on the corner?
e) I do.
f) so yes, there was a 'real' point to it
g) just for FYI sakes, I took them down because I wasn't worried about stealing - nor am I that worried about not being credited.

Thanks!
 
Used the NY Street Signs picture as my background. Amazing pictures, I personally don't mind the signature.
