#1, #3 and #4 are fantastic shots!!
#3 in particular is a superb capture of character.
... but please, that bold white copyright notice spoils all of them. If you must contaminate your pics with it then at least overlay something that's unobtrusive and smaller. I've seen some copyright notices that have some transparency and are much less annoying.

Fantastic, number three is my favourite.
Re the watermarks - I think we need to remember this is Garys living, if my mortgage depended on my art I would be very protective as well.

Fair enough, but surely they can be made less obtrusive and still 'watermark' them?smeggy i wont apologise for the watermarks. this week alone i have 4 infringements, 1 being the tv & radio broadcaster most of us have to pay a licence fee too. so sorry but they have to stay.
You take great pics, I'm only trying to give some input into portraying them in a less manicledway.

Grimsby,

First time shooting at Nottingham Arena which is one of the smaller arenas in the UK.
stage had a ramp leading down to the middle of teh arena floor which made for some different shots than usual.
Tonight it's The Script supported by Claire Maguire, who I am really excited about photographing, show is at Manchester MEN.
