I like this shot and the border/quote that you added.

Critique Club feedback -
This entry followed the 'classic' motivational poster formula in terms of graphical design and content layout.
Very nice picture (the bit of dodge/burn to highlight the center of the shot is subtle and well done), the message in a large font and centered for impact, the font itself one that has a feeling of authority.
Two things that struck me as slightly off. First, it's more of a public service announcement than a motivational poster. Could argue it either way, but Smokey the Bear telling me not to toss cigarettes into piles of leaves doesn't make me feel motivated, just informed. I think a lot of people that voted in the challenge did have a fairly concrete definition of what type of message should be presented.
Second thing was the cursive script. I think it's pretty, I like how you placed it and the choice of color was extremely complementary to the rest of the poster - but I can barely read it. It just doesn't work well for the medium (medium being postage stamp sized web images) though is no doubt stunning at a decent size.
This image scored quite well and rightfully so. I think those couple of nitpicks probably kept it out of top 10, because really it's a solid entry.
Great work! |

Oh Ursula!!!!!! What can I say. You KNOW this is MY kind of photo! Jeeeeez, how can anyone who gave it under an 8 or 9 have a clear conscience!!!
I got some photos of a majestic ram like this when we were in Colorado. I'm saying my prayers that I can turn out something a fraction this striking!!!!

good shot that suffers a bit from post-processing (reddish cas tin the shadows). very well designed poster, good choice of fonts and colors, especially like how the subline lays above the headline. |
