This WOULD HAVE BEEN a wonderful background. I even went to the authors site and it's the same way. Such a waste to ruin it with the copyright in the middle of the image.
i love the copyright! ok, just kidding. sometimes, if i'm really happy with a piece and want people to keep their grubby little hands off it, i'll choose a color from somewhere on it and do a small copyright in the corner. that way, its there, but its not a focal point.
excellent colors and design, love the flow. would have used it except for the blasted copyright smack-dab in the middle of it.... should have been in a corner somewhere. :(
So close, yet so far away. Almost a wonderful pic but you defenatly ruined it with that copywrite. I can understand the desire to place it where it wont easily be cropped off, but if you ruin the work is it really worth it?
This is a waste. You clearly have talent but there's little point if the copyright turns people off. Maybe you could submit it without the copyright, or with it in the bottom corner maybe?
