    Testing new watermark (pic heavy)
    Figured I would pull up some pics I have on the computer and try out the new logo as a watermark. Most of these pics have prolly been posted before, but since I am not in a position to take now ones, will have to do I reckon.

    Still love the logo but your first one is too easy to crop out.
    Placement keeps the image as yours;)

    Yeah, I agree. With the composition of that shot is is hard to find a spot where the watermark did not detract from the pic.

    can you make it a littel more transparent?

    I run my logo on the bottom right with my name almost totally transparent across the image.

    I agree with pit more transparent, right now your logo kinda draws attention away from the pics. It doesn't need to stand out it just needs to be there an not removable with out ruining the image.

    I have uber bad add or ADHD one of the two who knows but I get distracted by things really easy. If a water mark is too dark it draws my focus away from the pic no matter what the pic is off because I know I'm not supposed to look at it ha. Any time I put water marks their so light you could almost miss them . Almost being key word since its normally my last name plastered in an odd spot that's impossible to remove with out ruining the pic.

    Yep, looking at it I do need to lighten it some. Maybe another 15-20%. It still needs to be legible, as it is also advertising not just picture marking.

    If you want it to be advertising you shouldn't go water mark make the negitive spaces into areas where your business info is. Use pictures like the first one snakes in a good position and you have space on the bottom for business name an contact stuff. But if you mean it as you want everyone of your pics to be advertising then pick placement good so that it's clear what it is and still does the functions of a water mark, I would still like you said make it lighter in that situation too. Look at DrDoolittles water marks and pits they don't need to be dark to stand out an make an impression. A user with dark water marks that he uses good is 3skulls his are black dark but placement is key.
