I'm looking for some feedback. Is the watermarking that i have applied to this gallery good enough? Or should i be making it BIGGER and Bolder?



Thanks Darren

    IMO it should be bigger and bolder.
    The reason you make a cpoyright symbol transparent is so you can make it big enough to keep ppl dirty mittens of your property.
    At this size. Most non photogs wouldn't even see your watermark.

    Agreed. That is way too small and inconspicuous (sp?).

    You can tile it across the image, instead of keeping in in the center. See if you like it better.

    when I looked at your gallery, the 1st picture that came up - I thought "what watermark?" In that particular image (the mallard), the watermark is not visible at all on the bird and you only get a glimpse of it to the right and that almost still blends in. It was better in other images, those that were of more consistant color behind the watermark, but still too small and light.

    The size in fine but it needs to be a little bolder
    It's not all about the size of your font. I prefer solid centerd placement and slightly bolder and less transaprent.

    Here is my example:
