Nice treatment. Looks like a newspaper advert.

Yes, a very pretty smile. The starburst pattern in the background is interesting. I can't help but wonder how this would have done more dressed up (using this bg) instead of jeans and a wooden chair, using slacks or tights and a chrome chair. Just thinking out loud. Anyway, good luck.

Good idea and nice composition. My only complaint is I do not like the how "Excellence" overlaps the image. It keeps it from standing out.

Comment by SEG:
Very nice shot but I wish the word "excellence" was not over the actual picture. Makes it a little harder to read.

the text goes into the photo, and what's worse the color of the photo and the text that goes into it are same, and that's not good...I wish you refered to your motivational message when you were editing this photo

The image works well with the saying. however you needed to have a larger area at the bottom so that the text does not sit over the image. For me, the writing and the lower lights are fighting, and it doesn't work. Also, I would prefer the words to be centre aligned, and not to the left.
The colour in the city is good, the crane is perfect for this, adds to the image and makes the statement. I like the image and the processing you have done, the exposure is good. With changes to the presentation, this could have been a very high scoring submission

The only reason I am not giving it 10 is the way the text is overlapping the picture, Some tonal range makes it distracting to me, 6
