What to do on the weekend?

I am not seeing the motivational part of this photo, nor with the title. It is pondering what to do, not motivating me to do anything.

The photo is cluttered with many elements on the right hand side, most of which do not add anything positive to this photo........

Strive for lofty goals

Interesting idea, shame you didn't attempt to make this look more like a poster to strongly meet the challenge.

The photo matches the title well. A shame you are not on the other side of the dog, as seeing his face would have made a much stronger shot here.

The Perfect Day

I don't see how this fits the motivational challenge poster subject. In no way does this look like a poster, or a shot that would be on a motivational poster.............Sorry but DNMC

The image also is not sharp, the lighting is very poor, as is the composition

Spring reminds us that times of joy follow seasons of sadness

I like the saying, I note that you didn't put it on the poster, which is where it really should appear for this challenge. I like the idea of the photo, but are thinking that a different image could have really pushed this further, new growth growing out of a burnt tree is what instantly comes to mind, especially here in Australia after our bushfires. Another one would have been a sprout coming out of the barren ground.
The image itself has bright highlights on the leaves that I find distracting due to the harsh (natural) light, which also has cast some strong shaddows.

FLY !

Like the saying, and really like how it ties in with the photo. The airplane shell may be a little dark, but its hard with the light conditions.
I feel the words whould have been two sentences though, as two statements. Small thing, but I think it would have looked a little more pollished. Also not sure about this texxt, especailly with this subject. Something cleaner and more defined I think would help the overall composition.

A great submission though

A hard day's Work

Would have preferred to see this presented in the traditional Poster format. The second line of writing starts to fade into the scene which I am not a fan of, and I also do not like the border you have applied. The image connects well with the message you have chosen though, but the colouors mean that the hay does not stand out as much as it should.

Freedom

Great words, and something still worth fighting for.......could sit here on my wall.

I would have had the writing different, top line ending at the end of the ......., then the second part of the phrase on the second line. You could afford to shrink the writing to make it work.......Title could have been more bold as well, and the border also I feel should be thicker....

Don't know what the photo is of, I presume somewhere where the flags of nations fly. I like the different idea of showing the flags as shaddows though. I think this has a stronger message as we don't see a countries flag, it could be anyones nation, helping anyone, and not just the US, or Canada, or Uk, or Australia......it removes the National political message for this, and lets the straight Political message hold firm, that Freedom is the basis to Successful nations, whether it is the middle east, or Africa, or anywhere. A great submission to provoke though, to motivate people, and one that is very different to what I expected, while strongly putting forward a great message........

Stay Busy

Doesn't really fit the motivational poster, seems more that the photo was taken and the title and phrase made to make it fit. Format is not in the traditional way and that also doesn't help here. Not sure I want my motivational poster telling me to stay busy on my wall at work, I am busy enough.........

That it does.....

Like the picture. Shutter speed was spot on to get the blur but still seperate blades on the mian rotor, the full circle on the tail rotor, and keeping the chopper still sharp. I like the use of the blue in the border in traditional poster form. A great poster

- In Nature , Nothing is Perfect yet Everything is Perfect -

I will be fussy.......your writing should have been capitalised correctly. I noticed straight away that Perfect is the only word in Title case. In Nature, Nothing is Perfect yet Everything is Perfect........yes, being fussy on this challenge......

Ok, Photo.........Stunning. Love the colours in the bug. The blues are just brilliant. The composition is good, the depth of field is perfect.......The Photo fits with the phase exactly.....Its a great shot.

I note you didn't go with the normal Black background which is good, nor did you go with the standard poster crop.

A really good submission for this.......Hey, i had to be picky to find something to comment on.....a good score from me for that stunning photo
