Photography Debates: Watermarks by Mrs-Durden, journal
Photography Debates: Watermarks
Welcome to a series of Photography Debate journals, in which a debate or question will be posed, and as members you can debate among each other which side you are on. This month's debate is:
Watermarks
So tell us, are they necessary? Do they take away from a photograph? Do they truly make a difference in terms of art theft? What are your general thoughts?
This series is all about having a healthy debate over photography-related topics, so please feel encouraged to leave a comment here with which side you're on, respond to the comments other members leave here, and debate with each other in a polite manner. Have fun with it!

Somethings on this feature are from last weeks feature but not all. I hope you find this helpful!

We had many many contenders for the winning places of "Photofest"- and plenty of people made the effort to submit to the contest each month which was amazing. We had some great October themed submissions, fantastic November themed ones and some truly wonderful December themed photographs to round everything up nicely. But there can only be a handful of winners....

Twenty Random Deviations that Deserve Recognition by theladywrath, journal
Twenty Random Deviations that Deserve Recognition
{minus pixel art... I was traveling traditional art, photography, and digital paintings today}
I saw a few deviations today that I think more people should see and wanted to remember them so I putting them here.
A couple of them are pretty popular, some of them have less than twenty views.
They are just random deviations that I loved today. There is so much awesome art here and there, sometimes they blow me away.
