I gotta say it. what's with the watermark? surely it doesn't need to be that in your face. some of the shots are great, but ruined by the watermark.
No problem. I make money off of selling prints and digital copies of my pictures on the internets. So, these are pictures I've posted to my site (
http://www.shutterdriven.com) that I link to on here. Because of the ease of copying images on the internets I've placed the watermark to assist in curbing people stealing my images... ...which has happened that I've caught approx 20 times.
Exif watermarks are simply not effective, I personally can strip them with a stroke of a key. Smaller graphical watermarks work initially but all you have to do is usually crop an image to remove them. So, I'm left with an intrusive large graphical watermark which has in effect stopped people snarfing my images mostly.
When people purchase the images in either digital or hard copy form - the watermark is not present :)
