Nice, crisp. Great photo for this, showing the bird in all its glory. Crop, exposure, composition, capture are all spot on with this image and the image would score well in any relevant challange. A really good capture.
The poster is well constructed and well put together. A really good submission..........

Life, Age Has No Limits

A little snap-shotish. there lacks a clear subjecct, with many elements involved and none standing out ahead of the others. Too much happening in the background, and too many elements overlapping each other to make this work. no one is looking at the camera, and the entire image does not really look like a poster someone would post on their wall for motivation.

Determination

I like the image, although it is too dark in many spots. Some fill lighting on the truck would ahve made a differece as then the sky would not be blown out as much.........
Not 100% convinced by the choice of the text style, I don't think the curved text helps you here. Title, with phrase underneath would have worked better. Also don't know why you introduced in the yellow colour.
Also, why B&W for this? Most motivational posters have colour, and I think this could have looked really good if in colour with some rich rust browns through the truck etc, and the colour detail through the rock.
One last one, Not meant to have names on any of this, as we are not meant to know who submitted during voting........

Not what I would call Motivational poster material.

An interesting image though, not sure about the crop on this, I feel she is too high in the photo and this needed more space above her to really work.

Stand Out.
by jfritz27

Comment:
The bird does stand out, but there is so much boring, faded, out of focus greenery in this photo that it just doesn't appeal, and not something I could see people putting on a wall for motivation. A tighter crop of the bird would have been better, and more consideration of the overall presentation, prehaps intraditional motivational poster style, with a positive phrase could have helped significantly here.

PERSEVERANCE

Not sure that the sign post was really needed for this, especially the doctored sign post. The post is on a lean which is a distraction. Just having the long road with the runner was a strong enough message that linked in really well to the title and phrase. The sign is a little over the top for me. other than that, it is a really well constructed poster with all elements considered and great presentation.

A Word to the Sheepish

Not really sure what you were trying to achieve here. The humour of this is good, but the overall presentation has a rushed feel to it. The picture is poorly composed. The cropping seems a little arbitary rather than well considered. You cut off half a sheep on the right.........The text really doesn't work as it runs over the sheep, rather than being placed in negative space

A nice, subtle poster that really does fit the theme you have chosen. the colours are vibrant, and the crop you have chosen is very interesting, and adds to the overall appearance of the poster, making it more than just a flower shot. the attention to detail makes the entire submission work well.

Progress

An interesting image. I find it interesting that you chose to photograph this from slightly behind, looking at the back of the rider, and not from the front, looking at the face and front. This is even more interesting seeing the angle of the sun makes the back very dark.
The crop at the bottom is a slight problem. You have attempted to remove the base the horse is standing on, I am not sure of the reason for this, hawever this crop highlights that the photo is not straight, and the front feet are higher than the rear. You cropped off the very bottom of the rear holves, but the base is visible o the front. The tree around the base I like, even the tree in the corners, but was there a way to not have the tree branch directly behinfd the heads, as I find this distracting.
Also, an interesting contrast, the buildings in the background and the statue of a native.....it does highlight progress, for better or for worse......
Overall presentation, postert layout etc is very good. Text is great as is the title and phrase,. I might have gone with a different text/border colour though.....

Soar to the Top
by DCrest01

Comment:
An interesting image, made by the geometric patterns created by the structure and the angle that we are viewing it from. The criss cross of structure provides all these shapes and patterns that draws attention.......
The blue sky is brilliant, maybe the red could have been adjusted slightly to also make it more vibrant, which would have added to this overall image.
The presentationoverall is good, without being exceptional. The title and phrases probably could ahve been tailored a little more, and more traditional (ie Title: Soar, Phrase: Have the Courage to Reach for the Stars) A little more traditional motivational poster, and with different text fonts it could have been mistaken then for one from the shops
