Beautiful colors, nice composition, appropriate quote. The foreground seems a bit dark, especially on the left. The letters are slightly blurry.

Think Twice

Interesting textures and shapes. The sign is a bit close to the top, but is still the obvious center of interest. I'm not sure what it means, so don't really understand the allusion to creating a new problem. The sharpness is great except for the sign's shadow, which has a halo I'm guessing is from oversharpening; since spot editing was allowed for this challenge it would have been nice to avoid that.

Ideas without action are worthless

The photo is set up well and humorous. Good lighting, focus, and exposure. The message it gives me is "Beware of bad ideas!" rather than what the title says.

Progress

Effective use of a narrow depth of field. Good composition on the photo, but I wish it was a little bigger in relation to the poster. A thin border around the photo might help as well.

Life isn't about the breaths we take, it's about the moments that take our breath away.

Certainly a breathtaking scene. Seems a bit blurry. The colors are probably realistic, but making them a bit warmer would improve the image I think.

Drive yourself furher..

Comment:
Good pose and expression, and the low key approach works well with the poster's theme. I don't know that the runner is in pain yet, but the idea comes across anyway. The orange arrow adds a nice touch of color, but the way it crosses the model's hand and wrist is rather distracting.

Key to success

Simple but effective composition. Well chosen elements and good lighting. The font used for "Success" doesn't work well with the font used for the rest of the text.

Dreams
by wwjdwithca

Comment:
The photo does seem nightmarish, although unnecessarily washed out. It would be a bit zany by itself, but works in the context of the poster. Splitting the word "DREAMS" was a good idea, but white lines on a black background look thicker than the opposite, so top and bottom don't really match.

Individuality

Comment:
Creative! The lighting works surprisingly well; generally double shadows should be avoided, but here it adds to the overall confusion and anonymity of the white candies. The overall poster seems a bit crowded; either remove the white border or put space around it. The aliasing in the font may be part of its individuality, but I find it distracting.

Celebrate life

Beautiful overall, and interesting (and surprising) when you look closely. The fake triptych format works very well.
