11 and 12 are too soft for my taste, that's my only critizism. The others are good, and some have a brilliant mood to them (like #3). Very nice work!

Exactly my sentiment. Personally, I really liked each photo there... Very very good!
(Well, okay maybe picture 1 isn't quite up to the same standard as the rest, but still really like them!)

Good old Photoshop actions for watermarks! It all goes well until you sneak a portrait pic in!

Love all shots, especially #10. Love me some asians in skimpy clothing and high heels. RAWR!

And regarding the watermark, i don't do it with an action, i have 2 separate psd files saved, one for portrait, one for landscape, and i just paste the image into it as the bottom layer and save as jpeg. Found it to be the most hassle free.

Yeah but pasting each one manually?

That's what I do, but I use an action to batch it. I use the same method, but now and again you find that you've accidentally left a portrait in your batch, or have a pic you've cropped or something!
