Simple, yet it works. The Title, words and photo compliment each other for this. The words are terriffic for a motivational poster. The overall presentation of this is really very good, exactly what you would find on someones wall. A great submission

Cool shot! I'm a sucker for night time photography. The lights are a little "blown out", but overall it's very good.

Comment by Teafran:
A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success with some minor technical issues like over done whites. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal - a shorter exposure time might have helped this image and forestalled the effect of the boat movement in the foreground. A good entry into the challenge.

Interesting shot but wish there was more definition to your main subject's face.

love the combination of blur and sharpening throughout the palm trees! it works well for me since it incorporates miami into one..the tropical aspect with the busy city in the background! very nice!

I'm not sure how this made it into my top 5. I just kept a look at it, and it grew on me steadily. I really think it says MIAMI, and the colors are fabulous. There is some blown out whites, and I'm not crazy over the text, you can obviously see there was some wind in the trees and shrubbery that hindered the photo a bit, but I never subtracted for it, because I personally like the setting it sets. I really dig the balance of the composition, the way the buildings end, and the trees fill in the space.
great job, good luck. 9.
