We ask that you please do not post these in the gallery. If you wish to refer to these pictures post a link to the photographer's web site. Even if the pictures aren't the greatest, they still are the photographer's. We do occasionally receive contacts from these photographers requesting their removal because they are unpaid for. Besides, HGS does state in the FAQ to not upload copyrighted pictures.

Please take some time to go through your own gallery and remove copyrighted pictures (this includes proofs that are marked as such).

What does that mean, watermarks?

I have never heard that term before.

I am sure that Kelli won't mind me using an example of her work, it is so good and I knew she would have an example of a watermark somewhere. (if she does I am quite happy to remove it) It is her own work so she is entitled to use it. See the writing on it, that is a watermark.

Moostang- Lol, I'm glad I do not have your job... I'd go blind as well

I don't think that I have anything with a watermark on it, but Ill re-look. I'm also an aspiring photographer, but getting my website going so that will for sure be in my sig.
