<p>[QUOTE="Steven Michael Gardner, post: 3185719, member: 97508"]Thank you all for your responses, this was my first post on this forum, all of the examples & comments have certainly taught me more about this image than I knew yesterday...</p><p>I am impressed at the artistic variety for this same image, masculine / femine depictions, abstract versions and one that brings to mind early VanGogh styles, some fantastic examples of this Greek god posted here..!</p><p>Ouch...</p><p>I'm sorry that the watermark disappoints the view for some, and as a self-serving advertisement for others, I don't particularly like doing it however it is my photo, my image and I am letting all know it is by the use of this mark, I do not have a website that sells coins, but do have a website, which it seems this watermark inspired a few to investigate, so I guess I have killed 2 birds with one distracting stone... Images are easily & readily copied and pasted on the internet for a variety of uses by others, and only my lawyer knows it has taken much expense & effort to protect what few images I have created as an artist and licensed as a livelihood for 24 years, so it's become somewhat of a reflex action to do so with most all things I post on the internet, and it at least makes whom ever work for it if they want to swipe these coin images for their own usage... You don't need to like it however I do hope that you understand now where I'm at, and why I do it...![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Steven Michael Gardner, post: 3185719, member: 97508"]Thank you all for your responses, this was my first post on this forum, all of the examples & comments have certainly taught me more about this image than I knew yesterday... I am impressed at the artistic variety for this same image, masculine / femine depictions, abstract versions and one that brings to mind early VanGogh styles, some fantastic examples of this Greek god posted here..! Ouch... I'm sorry that the watermark disappoints the view for some, and as a self-serving advertisement for others, I don't particularly like doing it however it is my photo, my image and I am letting all know it is by the use of this mark, I do not have a website that sells coins, but do have a website, which it seems this watermark inspired a few to investigate, so I guess I have killed 2 birds with one distracting stone... Images are easily & readily copied and pasted on the internet for a variety of uses by others, and only my lawyer knows it has taken much expense & effort to protect what few images I have created as an artist and licensed as a livelihood for 24 years, so it's become somewhat of a reflex action to do so with most all things I post on the internet, and it at least makes whom ever work for it if they want to swipe these coin images for their own usage...
