| | | As mentioned before, you gotta drop the huge watermark, it's actually detracting from the quality of the photos. But I'm going to do my best to ignore it and focus on the content as you're a decent guy when we chatted this morning. 1. This is probably the strongest in the set. The upwards angle works well in this composition. The washed out feel also adds to the image as a whole. 2. The image is off balance, the brick framing of the window takes away from the photo as a whole. 3. Check your horizon line, also line up so that you're directly facing the doorway not just off to one side. Also drop your ISO, the noise is pretty bad here. Also the focus seems off. 4. Drop the camera a bit, so that the typewriter occupies more of the centre of the frame. 5. Again, composition, either show all the chair or none of it. 6. Got the leading lines down in this one but your focus is off. Go manual if you can. 7. Focus is off again. 8. Another strong image the warm tone works really well but noise and focus are off again. Of course the focus could just be because of the watermark, but you have two decent images in the set!

| | | I just wouldn't use a watermark. If you're really worried about it, then post reasonably low-res photos. If it's under 1000 pixels across, that's still plenty big enough for the web, and useless for print. But really, if someone really wants to steal your photos, no watermark will stop them. Fortunately, in most cases, no one wants to steal your photos! And especially if you have no intended commercial use for these photos, then what are you worried about? All that being said, if you really want to have a watermark, just make it a small, well-designed logo, signature or name in a corner, so that it doesn't take away from the photo.

| | | Thanks fellas, I'll repost them the next time I post some photos for critique, next time sans watermark. ******************************************************************************** BY THE WAY: not to defend my watermark, but to explain it and provide a little bit of context, it's the symbol of an art movement in my hometown, Washington DC with a pretty cool story those urban-exploring/street art inclined people may find interesting. The face is the symbol of a street art campaign that's lived on in DC for about a decade now, known as BORF! DC, while certainly a big city and a cultural center in many respects has for many years suffered from a lack of art, a lack of character - the sort of grit and edginess one typically sees in New York or San Francisco or in Canada in cities like Vancouver or Montreal - in other words, DC's a government town where the streets are empty after midnight and there's little diversity or color in most of the city. Borf is/was the name of a street art collective that sought to combat just that. The movement was named after a DC teenager who regrettable committed suicide in the early two thousands, named Bobby Fisher, nicknamed Borf - ostensibly because of the repressive nature of the microcosm of vanilla living that persevered in DC for so many years. The watermark is a posterization of Bobby's face, and has been plastered all over town as a symbol of 'taking back the city' with art. This isn't a plug for BORF, just simply context and a cool story. For more info about the scope of the movement, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borf
