I'm going to have to agree with the above assessment. Like it or not,
there are a lot of people violently (yes, I know there's an irony there)
opposed to hunting, and I think you may be inadvertently writing off a
portion of your market, not just by your business name, but by your
on-the-home-page bio describing yourself as an avid hunter. (IMHO, it's
not a good idea to put your "about me..." section, as opposed to your
images, front-and-center anyway.) I can see a lot of visitors to your
site coming across that and moving on without ever looking at your
photographs. No need to alienate part of your market for no good reason.
Two other suggestions: make your sample images larger and your
watermark smaller (and not right over the center of the photo). In the
world of art shows and print sales, here's really no danger of
commercial loss from anyone stealing web-sized images anyway, and a huge
watermark merely makes it harder to see your photographs.
