LuxProfundi In reply to ??? [2009-07-15 14:02:33 +0000 UTC]

Great picture... Great self. Like the style and the edit very much...

What I dislike is the use uf the 'scriptina'-font... sadly. Once, I liked this font... but now, you could see it everywhere... It seems to me, that 'scriptina' had become the "new" 'comic sans'... Just my thoughts...

but still, the picture IS great!

Greetz, tom

Thanks

Haha you recognized it. Bravo. A lot of people have asked me what font it is. It's what I use on all my watermarks so it's like a standard template

Hehe thanks again Tom
