I work in the Ad/Publishing biz and the best advice I can offer is to add to Paco's post. Put your watermark in several locations. If its on a vechile, put it over a curved line. Curves present a challenge when removing and cloning the underneath. Another good place is an obvious color blend/change.

For that awesomely detailed vehicle in question, I would recommend a watermark that spans the rear-window, trunk and down over the back of the car. The reflected bricks will present a challenge to clone as well.

If you look at 30x's touchup work as a "noob" you can see that the black line separating the trunk and the brake-light is no longer straight. It is broken slightly. (Good job overall on your work there 30x)

Summary: 2 or 3 strategically places watermarks will discourage your average wannabe picture theif. If they are facing an hour's worth of work to remove your personal info, they will look elsewhere.
