    Hi, I'm just getting started on here and I'm wondering if I should look into a watermark. Your photograph is stunning and I can see some one wanting to spend money on this but I noticed you have no watermark. I was wondering what your thoughts were on this?

    Hi
    My thoughts on this are, if some one wanted to copy this low res unprintable image I would be flattered, small water marks are fine that do not spoil the viewing, but large ones in the middle of a picture serve no purpose other than to hinder viewing, after all this is why we post on forums, those that steal other people's work would never buy from you, thanks fo your kind comment

    two thoughts
    1) Cool capture, I love this in black and white.

    2) Boat Ramp? Enough white water to make me nervous putting a boat in.

    Great shot and composition.

    What was your intent going with a sepia tone?

    Toning is a matter of personal preference, I think a slight tone enhances images, most of my printed work has a warm delicate tone and I like to show people what they get when purchasing prints

    Thanks

    Nice shot! I've been reading up on B&W conversion and I'm amazed at how much one needs to know about COLOR to do good B&W conversions. bowdown.gif
