    I voted, but it is a little hard to judge with the giant PROOF right over the most important part of the pic...

    yes indeed. I am sorry. I must learn how to customize the watermark.
    Thank you anyway.

    These are important pictures and I watermarked them for obvious reasons...

    light and eye position is better in 1. 2 is a stronger look but the light is a little harsh, would make a good black white.

    I like the second photo best, the rework looks too dark.
    Play around with Curves. Also I would add a bit of black to the Cyan with Selective Color to tone it down a bit.

    Just can't tell with "PROOF" covering 25% of the photo and most of the important parts.

    So no vote from mene_nau.gif

    I voted #1. I like the angle of his eyes better and feel it makes him look more elegant. Both are beautiful to look at.

    I agree with you. The second photo is also my favorite.
    But I have been to a photographer downtown and said that the one on the left was also a good one...
    Then I was not sure, but now I am: the right one is the best.
    Oh BTW the left picture has an orange cast...
    :D

    Antonio,

    While I understand why you want a water mark. I personally just skip, or leave amy web site, or post with large water marks. This might just be my own personal quirk.

    Oh, and not to offend you in any way, but I always cheer for the poor bull.

    Antonio,

    Communicating when our first languages are different can have problems.

    No fault on your part. All is good. :D

    For me, I find it difficult, and distracting to try and view an image with a large water mark. Especially when looking at it with a critique in mind.

    There is no fault here, it's just my thoughts on large water marks.

    Hey antonio,

    If you have problems figuring out how to change the watermark. Just shoot me a PM. I can make a quick video that show you haw to change the opacity etc.

    It'll take me less than 5 minutes to make.

    BTW I voted for #2 :D

    Yes Sam I know. The water mark is huge.
    I must learn to make a more convenient one...
