    Your perspective on 2 and 3 are very nice. I think 4 would have benefited with a better angle, but I still like it. Have to state the obvious, your watermark is WAY over the top.

    Thank you for the feedback :)
    I know, I've been told my watermark is way too much. I'm working on a new, more appropriate one for events, portraits and such. But as for local horse shows I like the big obnoxious one because I've noticed they tend to steal the photos, so I feel my obnoxious watermark discourages that. Haha.

    There is no such thing as over the top watermarks if you are posting photos for sale for sporting events. You should see mine. My sales went up when I changed mine to what I have now. I also find less of them on the internet that were stolen.

    That's what I was thinking. I see photos, specially from horseshows, all the time being posted on Facebook or something with a photographer's watermark all over it.
    It annoys me greatly, no one realizes how much work goes into these.
    So I like to keep mine safe and annoying, rather than vulnerable.
    I still get incredible business, and haven't seen my photos end up on Facebook or something silly that hasn't been purchased.

    I like the composition of the photos, stay consistent when cropping. Some of photos are very tight in regards to cropping. Also, I recommend numbering the photos on the thread. The photos are sharp and exposure looks good too.
