 I don't really care how this one does. We are just getting guys back from Iraq that belong to 1st Armor Division and I am lucky enough to be able to shoot the homecoming ceremonies. I just wanted to share this. If you would like to see more visit my website. I have made the digital downloads free so the families can have copies. Welcome Home!

A little extra attention to the overall presentation of the poster would have made this. Arms looks awkward being on the second line by itself. Whanging the font size to put this on one line, or breaking the line after the comma would have helped.
Not really sure on the crop, the cutting off the top of his head looks more accidental than artistic. Including the top of his head and some additionals pace would have helped on that

Great message. Also, as wonderful candid shot. Wish I could have seen this in the candid challenge. It would have done great there also.

In my belief there are more things that contribute for a great motivational/de-motivational poster:
Idea/creativity: 7
Quality of the photo: 9
Artistic viewpoint: 4
Frame/borders: 4 the white frame is too big and distracting
Appealence of the font: 6
Average: 6
