TENACITY

The title over the photo annoys me greatly, as does the second green border around the whole thing. Its a shame as I feel the image is really good for this, the title is fitting as is the phrase. The choice of colours from the photo is also very well matched.. I really like the colours you have in teh photo, the saturation of this is great..........

Great saying, interesting photograph that does match it, just not in the way i expected it to. The photograph is well composed for this, the animal is well lit and not overexposed. Just not what i was expecting

I like the photo, the title and and saying on this. The presentation is very good. The composition of the photograph is very interesting here. The main subject lies on a line of third,a dn the three balloons at the opposite end. However, it seems to work for this, especially as it is a motivational poster......

You have chosen not to follow the standard black background, and for this submission, I think it was the right choice. The more delicate photo needed the white surround, and not the heavy black. A good choice.

A great photo of the detail in the rose, showing off the natural beauty, even down to the dew drops. The crop works on this. The colour chosen for the words is spot on. Nothing really for me to put forward to improve. A great overall submission.

Simple, yet it works. The Title, words and photo compliment each other for this. The words are terriffic for a motivational poster. The overall presentation of this is really very good, exactly what you would find on someones wall. A great submission

Great title, words and photo combination. They all compliment each other really well. presentation of this is very good, except that i feel you should have cropped more off the bottom. The poster should end below the persons name, not witht he large balc area.......but ignoring that now

Photo composition is good. You have given him somewhere to run to so he is not contrained by the crop. The place he is going for someone his size is the perfect exploration.......a really good submission for this challenge

Great title, words and a picture that matches these exactly. This is the type of thing that you expect to see hanging on someones wall. The presentation is really good, the use of the Green for the title works well and the presentation of the words is spot on

The photo is captured at exactly the right moment, showing complete focus on the ball, and is perfect for this. the only problem is the blown out areas on his face, right arm and both of his legs. Its obvious that a strong sun was out so hard to avoid these, but thats the only criticism of a great submission.

I like the saying, I note that you didn't put it on the poster, which is where it really should appear for this challenge. I like the idea of the photo, but are thinking that a different image could have really pushed this further, new growth growing out of a burnt tree is what instantly comes to mind, especially here in Australia after our bushfires. Another one would have been a sprout coming out of the barren ground.
The image itself has bright highlights on the leaves that I find distracting due to the harsh (natural) light, which also has cast some strong shaddows.

Like the saying, and really like how it ties in with the photo. The airplane shell may be a little dark, but its hard with the light conditions.
I feel the words whould have been two sentences though, as two statements. Small thing, but I think it would have looked a little more pollished. Also not sure about this texxt, especailly with this subject. Something cleaner and more defined I think would help the overall composition.

A great submission though

Would have preferred to see this presented in the traditional Poster format. The second line of writing starts to fade into the scene which I am not a fan of, and I also do not like the border you have applied. The image connects well with the message you have chosen though, but the colouors mean that the hay does not stand out as much as it should.
