Something I wanted to mention, regarding my watermark: even though I do not mention it directly, I take alot of inspiration from others to better myself as a photographer. Things like borders, watermarks, camera choice, a style I may try to emulate...it is a result of admiration and respect. So...yeah. Hoped that didnt sound too flowery.
Hahaha, I was just buggin' ya. I don't exactly own a copyright on my "style" of watermarks, and I'm cool with people using the idea.

Francis, I like your photos and the HDR that you're doing, but I do think that you're over-processing them resulting in some noise and effects which - in my opinion - ruin the image. In the last one it was the garage, and the one before that it was the guttering on the right of the photo as well as where the roofs meet the sky. Keep practising but scan the whole photo when doing the processing to make sure the step you've just done hasn't made a mess somewhere.
