2 legit to quit haha.

Isn't instagram do things in square format? (I don't really use it, so I don't know).

Kai W of Digital Rev gave a jokey tutorial on how to bring the best out in pictures, and that was to shoot, then slap some filters on it, then HDR then to make it artsy convert to B&W. Reading the list you posted, felt just like that.

Brian... I think that they were talking about people that try to copy the 6x6 square format film look.
You, on the other hand, are legit.

Yeesh...HDR!

I agree with the entire list except for the square format, and only because I am shooting 6x6 square format film haha. But the HDR and lens flares...yikes.

It would be better if you made it half the size.
I still think that just the seal would be great.

(Bet you thought I was going to say "What logo?"

When using Lightroom what is sharpened and what is not can be controlled by the
Masking slider in the Detail>Sharpening tab.
After sharpening the image with the Amount sliders use the Masking slider.
Hold the Alt/Cmd key down when sliding the Masking slider. What is White is sharpened, What is black is not.
The further right the slider, the more sharpening is limited to edges.
This is an easy way to not sharpen skies and other large areas of a photo
which will turn black when moving the slider to the right.

A logo should not distract from the image.
I suspect that both of these would.

Michael... Maybe just the seal alone.
When you're famous everyone would recognize it as your photograph.

There are so many different ways to do things. I think everyone need to try them to find out that works for them personally. What High Pass Filter is famous for is the fact that the only edges are sharpened and any areas in the image which are not an edge are left untouched. A lot of photographers find it easier when playing with sliders of let say Unsharp Mask, Smart Sharpen in Photoshop or Sharpening in Lightroom.
