i like my self

hi
yesterday i did this one: www.pixmap.de/picinclude.php?pic=hate.jpg


What do you think of it?
And after some problem in other forums? do you see the sense?

Well, I really wanted to comment on the great quality of the scissors, but the watermark distracted me so much, it left a bad taste in my mouth. The image is nice, but I'd lose the second "I like myself" text. No real reason to have it twice. It's sort of like insulting the audience, telling them that you don't think they got it the first time. Looks good, but really, is there a huge need for the watermark? No offense, but there is some stellar art out there that I think people would rip before they would steal this.

that watermark should not prevent this being ripped. it's part of the images sense

I like it. I would get rid of the second (white) "i like myself" text also. I think instead of it...you should put more text into the image (smaller fonts..different place...different words).

As to the watermark...i'll tell you what i do. Make one obvious watermark! Put in a place where someone can crop it off/paint over it and make it really noticable (not huge though).This is a dummy watermark. Then hide 3 or 4 almost undetectable watermarks (just enough to see it when you zoom in) throughout the image! Most ppl will only figure 1 watermark is in the image...and once they cut it out they wont think twice about looking for another (or looking for 4 more lol).

What does this mean???

this "watermark" should strengthen the meaning of the image. It should not just be a watermark

The watermark is part of the image? Ohhh. Well, in that case. I still dont like it :p. It is kind of distracting.

The blood looks sort of green, you should really fix that.

damn, the next one.
about 6 ppl saw this blood green. on my screen it's dark red to brown. on some others to...

I was looking over the picture, and I bet if you added a small splat of blood to the sciscors (sorry, I doubt that's spelt correctly) it would all fall together with more ease.
