These are so great and that watermark is so terrible.

Looks like you saved the best for last, too.

Great set.

well maybe not terrible but very distracting and your work deserves better

The first two do absolutely nothing for me- don't move me at all. The last two are good, I think, but peering around that giant bullseye dead center watermark is annoying. Really, really, annoying. Perhaps it would be ebtter to use low rez images, or a discrete watermark, if you are worried about security.

I took a look at the blog post. I really prefer a lot of the images there to the first two. Some of them look really great.

Thanks guys for commenting!

Sorry about the watermarks but can't do without - I guaranteed news-pictures.com 2 months exclusivity on this shoot and can't have the images floating about cyberspace or elsewhere.

Nir, I can only quote Rutt -
"These are so great, and the watermark is so terrible. I understand wanting to protect the images, but you do your photography a real disservice posting images this way - it's like a beautiful movie star deciding to tattoo a skull and cross bones in vermilion on her cheek.

But again, these are exceptionally powerful images - especially three and four.

Well if you are trying to elicit emotions--#3 and #4, but specially #4.
I feel like a momma bear when I see that shot, it makes me want to wrap my arms around the child.

#3 does not provoke such a strong emotion, but it makes me appreciate the attitudes of the young in dealing with conflict.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Well, what are they doing here and on your blog, then?

Actually, I don't think that's any of our business.

I dislike big watermarks as much as the next guy but I think we need to respect the business decisions people make. It may be contractual or simply bad experiences with having images stolen. Personally, I would rather see pics professionally printed and mounted, but I can still appreciate a good shot even if it is watermarked and on a less than terrific computer display.
