Great entries all around. Congratulations winners! You were up against so much heated competition.

Now reflections. Such a cool challenging subject matter. This ought to be fun.

Hello, I would like to participate on the next #steemitphotochallenge . I have one question: can I mark my photography with logo/watermark or it needs to be just plain photo?

You can definitely put a watermark, but my advice would be to do it in a way that doesn't distract from the image because that may affect the judge's choice.

Yes, I agree, discreet watermark is so much better, I just like my photography marked :)
