I know the guy took it and owns it, but putting his trademark right on Gordon's hand was a bit much..Too near the center of the photo, like just mainly advertising his work and not caring about the subject. It would have been much better if he just put it lower in the bottom or corner.

JohninCt, a watermark is supposed to obstruct the photo somewhat, to prevent unauthorized, and uncredited usage (which probably includes posting it here).

I know that, but it doesn't have to be in such an obtrusive place. I cropped the photo, and it still looks good, even though it doesn't have his left hand in it.
