Just a few questions really - I suppose like many out there I look at other photographic web sites. I am trying to gauge members opinions about the following:
Do you find it acceptable for a photographer to place his name/website address or copyright notice anywhere on the image itself?
If it has to be displayed should this always be off image - in a border?
Have you ever seen a photograph where such a notice or signature does not drag the eye away from the image?
Apart from advertising is this practice ever justified?
Sorry, but this has become a bug bear of mine. It's a practice I hate
and as someone who does the occasional judging - should I let it get to me? - I have to admit if I see it - marks are going down from the start

I'm thinking of adding a poll to this post, would people be prepared to use one so I can gather results?
I have added a POLL with six choices - the poll will accept more than one answer if you think more than one question applies to you.
