A political statement in a motivational challenge. I feel this would have been much better suited in the de-motivational challenge due to the level of sarcasm applied...........The overall presentation is good, it lacks a really strong photo element though......

A greater depth of field, having the entire flower in focus, I feel would have been a ctronger overall image. As it is, too much of the overall image is out of focus,..........

Its Time to get out and, for a go Skate Day.

This photo is a combination of overexposed areas (the window) and underexposed (the room) There are no correctly exposed areas in this photo. The crop is not even, the subject is very uninteresting, the black and white processing doesn't work.........

PERSISTENCE

It is.......the combination of colours you have used for this works very well, as the use of both the green and red highlight these in the photo. I think the depth of field for the photo was too shallow, as I feel that having the right hand side of the plant blurred detracts from the overall image. Hvaing this photo all crisp and clear I feel would have made a stronger statement

Forward Thinking

Humour, great.......I like the ideaof this, and feel that it works to a point. Some extra attention to detail could have made this even stronger. A border around the photo (small black and then the blue grey) and having the writing in the blue/grey of the photo. A different font also would have helped. these minor changes would have made a much more professional look to the submission.

This photo appears like a snapshot, all the way down to the feet int he background, whicha lso emphasised the rotation of the photo. Distracting elements int he background, I don't like the writing on the photo, I don't understand why the title colour was chosen, and struggle to see the real relevance of this photo to the challenge

Interesting photo, and an interesting phrase. I feel the colours in this shot could have benifited from some attention in Post processing,. The photo appears to lack contrast, and some saturation adjustment could have made this stronger. Not sure about the presentation. I feel this would have been much more suited to the traditional motivational poster with black border, title (Trust) and the phrase underneath.....

Make Evey Day Memorable

On first galnce, I really like the photo, but as I look into it more, there are a number of things that catch my eye. The tree on the left is blown to the left, making me tilt my head, and you have cropped off the very edge of it. More space to the left was needed to balance this photo. it is currently too far to the left in the frame to be the subject, yet is the most dominating part. it needs to sit ont eh third line, prefeably the right third due to the lean. Trees are cropped off on the right, which also makes it look unfinished. Further to that, the writing just seems to blend in a little too much, rather than making the bold statement it should make......

A really good submission. Very professional presentation and the choice of both the background colour and text/border is spot on. That helps make this as one of the best overall submissions int hsi shallenge.
Phrase/Title/Photo combination is great, and all compliment each other. Photo is really good, simple, yet well executed, interesting without being overlly dominating, so perfect for this type of poster.
Smallest thing.........offset the Quote author to the right more, and remove the brackets.......this is the only thing that makes me think this isn't already for sale in shops...........excellent submission

Excellent photo composition for this, i like the overall placement, the diagonal composition, the scattered parts. it all works for me in that sense.
You chose the text and border colour from the photo, which normally is exactly the right thing to do. However, in this case, maybe is makes everything a little too brown. Would have to experiment with the colours to see if something worked better........
The phrase is great, matches the photo, however the text size is too small, and I don't think it should be capitalised. Maybe script in a larger font would have worked so much better. A great photo for this, but the overall presentation of this is not quite as good.
