Unfortunantley I cant see either font to vote on, as the picture box comes up with a red x in the top left hand corner.

Put my vote down for font number two though. Just a guess.

can’t see your images, but my favorite font is centaury gothic

Neither. If these are to represent a watermark on pics then they are too chaotic to be understandable. If you look at some of the major pic sites that have watermarks you will see that they use traditional fonts such as Gill Sans, Futura and Helvetica Neue, easy to read and very clean.

I can see the images, but don't like either of them. I assume you want to use them as a logo for your website. I don't think they are appropriate for a photography site. I prefer a crisp font - but maybe that's just me.

I can't see aither font, just the red cross.

I voted for #1 though because you wanted an opinion and I have plenty of those.

I agree with Chris.

Having said that, I like #2, but not for your purpose.
