I began to work then with the photo with the watermark, but the truth is that had me complicated since this not so transparent mark ruined me the design. So I gave me to the task to retouch the photo to remove him the watermark, I began with the inkpad, the tie, the feather, but nothing, the photo only was remaining worse:
