I am always looking to improve and getting feedback (good or bad) is the only way I will learn. I have very thick skin and it will only make me better.
I see your point regarding the watermark and it has been brought up to me a few times. I post mostly on Facebook and the only reason I have a watermark present is so people can search for my work if they choose. I know that it can easily be removed and is not a theft deterrent. I have done what I can as far as adding my information into the metadata and I suppose that will have to do. Instead of saving multiple photos with and without a watermark, I tend to just use the same one.
As far as your suggestion when it comes to the crop, I'm a bit confused. Do you think I should make a few adjustments or is the current framing conducive?
I appreciate your time and feedback!
