The way I see huge watermarks...no matter how great the photo looks, a huge watermark just makes it look bad. Sorry there. It's distracting and takes the attention away from the subject. If you want people to appreciate/respect it, put a small watermark. IMO the one in the corner is already enough. I'm a photographer as well, and the reason why I put one is just so I can get a little credit for the photo.

I don't normally watermark pics, but these were some much wanted shots by a few people, and it's really easy to edit out the small ones. I took the time out to take the photos, wanted to make sure I got the credit for them.

I just wanted to get the shots up so people could know they were testing the cars at Laguna.

We heard about it through a friend of a friend who knew where the FHI owner was staying...

We appreciate the photos man, no doubt about it... Just wish the watermark were a little smaller so we could actually see the car... so you went to the track to get nice photos that we can't really look at.
I love you anyway though.

gunmetal looked hella sick, but I'm definately with you on that. It seems as though you used to pay money and have a ready to go car, but this one seems like it'd need some work. No more out of the box kinda thing ya know...



So would you say it looks nicer in person?
