 Long-time motto of the Berkeley Free Clinic. I am especially happy that I first made a mock-up with the type and a placehoder gradient, then the next day took the shot without looking at the mock-up first, and when I imported the picture it fit almost perfectly (see below).

I don't think the small template-like text at the bottom is adding anything. Also, why such a dark sky in the background?

Would like to see a little more contrast in the photo. Need to be mindful of font sizes at 800px - we like to read fine print.
