Watermarks, by their nature, overlay the main subject of the image, often in a prominent position.
This can significantly detract from the visual impact and aesthetic appeal of the photograph. The purpose of sharing your work on social media is to showcase your talent and attract potential clients or followers. By obstructing the image with a watermark, you risk diminishing its beauty and diluting the impact it could have on viewers.
