Beautiful! Good work from the model, too. Chocolate ecstasy. Soft and dreamy, good color palette. The wrinkled backdrop detracts slightly, but a high score from me.

At first I thought this was overdone, and the background distracted me. Then I realized that the background reminded me of being IN a chocolate bar wrapper, which is awesome! And the expression.. maybe it is a tad overdone, but I think the model pulls it off very well. 10!

Critique Club feedback -

This entry followed the 'classic' motivational poster formula in terms of graphical design and content layout.

Very nice picture (the bit of dodge/burn to highlight the center of the shot is subtle and well done), the message in a large font and centered for impact, the font itself one that has a feeling of authority.

Two things that struck me as slightly off. First, it's more of a public service announcement than a motivational poster. Could argue it either way, but Smokey the Bear telling me not to toss cigarettes into piles of leaves doesn't make me feel motivated, just informed. I think a lot of people that voted in the challenge did have a fairly concrete definition of what type of message should be presented.

Second thing was the cursive script. I think it's pretty, I like how you placed it and the choice of color was extremely complementary to the rest of the poster - but I can barely read it. It just doesn't work well for the medium (medium being postage stamp sized web images) though is no doubt stunning at a decent size.

This image scored quite well and rightfully so. I think those couple of nitpicks probably kept it out of top 10, because really it's a solid entry.

Great work!
