Not quite sure how you tried to achieve the effect of moonS and starS but it didn't quite work for me personally. It's fuzzy, blurry and while the cloud effect on the left is well done the rest leaves me wanting. Also the font used just doesn't quite work and the all caps on the first word and none of the rest also gives it a sense of imbalance to me. A 4

Little Ninja's Unite

A good idea and a lovely model but his eyes are almost laughing, to me a ninja, large or small should have more intense eyes. Also the cropping just leaves me feeling a bit closed in, maybe if it was loosened up just a tad, a very small tad. Started with a 4, am raising to a 6

Just how motivational is that title? The shot is wonderful, Not quite sure how you pulled it off but it is well done. The lack of border hurts this shot for this challenge and the shot seems it could be rotated just a tad clockwise to line up the railing so it was more leve. A 4

Alcoholism

First of all, not quite sure just how motivational this is, especially to people who have the problem of alcoholism, I almost married one. So big points off for that, I know you probably meant it as a bit of joke (I sure hope you were) but to some it's really not funny. As for the shot, the second person in the back to the left is distracting and really adds nothing to the shot. The person by the mixer has the perfect expression and the DOF is well done. But because of the nature of the shot, you get a 4 for the shot only and the rest of the points are lost on me.

Teamwork is great but you have to be prepared for when it's just you and the other guy!

This is not a bad shot overall, the cropping seems a bit tight on the sides to me, would like to see the entire legs of both boys and perhaps a slightly tighter crop on the top.

THe border is perfect but the font just doesn't work for me. I love Comic Sans Script but it really doesn't work for this type of poster, a bolder font would really jump out at you. Started with a 4 am raising to a 6

Concentrate !

A very cute shot, though I could barely see the game control in his hands so I was left wondering at first what he was biting his tongue for.

The lack of a border hurts this shot on this for the particular challenge. Also the really tight crop leaves me wanting on the top around his head. And the title, concentration doesn't quite fit for me, I'm thinking more along the line of FOCUS is the key type thing. I started with a 4 for the reasons stated above but am raising the score to a 6 because the shot itself is well done. Nice capture.

Not quite sure how motivational this is, more of a preaching poster that would work well for Family Clinics? The shot isn't that bad but the font used is wanting, and the colors also leave me wanting. As for the shot, a tighter crop on the top, a larger border, change the font and color to white? A 4

Break Out

Not a bad idea but the actual execution of the idea leaves me a bit wanting. I realize you are trying to create the image of the leg breaking through the border but it just doesn't work for me, the lines don't quite match. THe child is blurred a bit and the expression isn't quite right. I'm thinking if you had a shot of the child actually coming through the top of a box or something to that effect? A 3
