I like the second to the last the best,
The watermark is a bit over the top. Don't get me wrong, I am a big proponent of conspicuous WM's but this one is really beating up the shots.

If you think this is over the top, this is the super light version. A few years ago I was shooting at the local tracks and sales fell off. I started clicking on the myspace links in some of the fourms and started seeing my photos on the sites ( even with the heavy WM ) so I have just gotten use to it. So I dropped the prices and still sales dropped off and just stopped showing up at the local tracks. I am not trying to make a living off of photography but the equipment and site cost soap box has been stood on by most of us to help support our hobby. I just do not belive in letting them go for free.

Thank You. And yes most of the shots need a little work, I am not trying to get famous with the shots but I will have some large prints made to hang in the shop and friends shops. The large prints will go thru editing and croping. I love going to a event and getting some shots from the spectator ticket and coming away with a few shots that look like I had a photog pass. Freestone is a hard track to shot as a spectator and not be able to pick your back grounds ect. All in all I had a great day with friends and got a lot of sun and some Keepers for the wall.

As I said, I am a big proponent for conspicuous WM's
