Well his hair is grungy for sure and it looks like he hasn't had a shower in sometime now. I love the idea that this story could go many different ways. These guys look pretty scary and I'm wondering if you were held captive against your will and looking to sacrifice your body or toss you into a fiery volcano to calm the gods.

On the other side of things, I've never really liked the flash on subject at night look just because the it never lights the entire image. But on the same note you didn't blow out any highlights with the flash so the amount of flash used to illuminate the subject is spot on. It also looks like you might have over sharpened this image too much, I guess to give it a more grungy look. Over all I give this shot a 7.

Hmmm, had this tipped for at least a top 10 when I looked through the images, surprised by the low score and position to be honest. I know the stool is not the main focus but it's an interesting take on the topic and very well executed too.

Great image. Love the colors, the use of the foreground, and the leading lines.

One of my ribbon picks - i like the different take on motivation with no one word being the main idea, good leading lines into the horizon and to the message.

In my belief there are more things that contribute for a great motivational/de-motivational poster:
Idea/creativity: 6
Quality of the photo: 10
Artistic viewpoint: 9
Frame/borders: 8
Appealence of the font: 7
Average: 8

A greta image and a good saying. in this case, i think it works that you have chosen a different layout to typical motivational posters. The colours in the image are very good, interesting without being overpowering, so very fitting for the challenge.
