Camera: Nikon D1H
Location: The Big Island, Hawaii

Aperture: f 4

This was taken at one of the many beautiful, scenic places my family has gone in the past week on our adventure on the big island of Hawaii. I took the photo for myself, and then decided to use it for this challenge, and I searched for how I could use it. I felt the phrase and the idea of everything fit really well, it is one that is used in quite a few motivational posters. I really feel that this is one of my better photos, and I love the layers involved. I hope you enjoy it!

Hopefully the fact that the phrase could not all fit in the title, and so I used it on the poster will not hurt me for not "following the rules" Opportunity is what the poster is about!

Excellent quote - need to atribute the source. Powerful image that supports the title. The typesetting detracts from the poster as it stands "apart" from it and is not a part of it. 7

a beautiful picture but looks over-processed as you have lost definition in the waves and the foreground is not sharp, I miss texture in the rocks, maybe more depth of field and sharper focus would improve it's appeal

Foreground is too blurry. Try and balance the focus for the whole picure.

IMHO, the white box destroyed this poster. I like the picture though, simple composition and great scene!

Seems a bit out of focus, USM could have helped.

Cute rainbow shot. It's a bit out of focus in the front portion of the perspective, but the back is nice. The text should have been reversed white on black, instead of using block of space over your black mat. The font is also bit fancy.

I don't like the text in a different colored area but I can see the usage of color from within the photo so it creates a link.
