From the Critique Club
This is a good concept for the motivational poster challenge. You have a good message and managed to convey it.
Your choice of putting the wording in the image I think is a good one. However, your fonts and colors are a little overbearing and seem to crowd the frame. The red lettering to me is too close to the red flower on the right. This may have worked if you had some offsetting pinkish letters from the other flowers colors.
The photo itself looks IMHO to be a little too post edited. I don't know if it really is, but with all the elements put together it LOOKS that way. The white background contrasts too much with the spider and the lettering. The spiderweb is going the wrong direction to be a balancing act. The colors and definition of the flowers is not all it could be. In this format these photographic flaws do not mean a whole lot though as the challenge was to make a poster, not a photograph.
Very creative entry for this challenge.

| I like how you've used words as part of the image, rather than relegating them to the margin like most of the posters. |

| Too simple. a spider that is walking on a tight rope represents you can layout the photo a little more realistically. |

| I like the way the flowers come in from the sides; but for me, that leaves too much white in the middle. Also, for my taste, there are too many different fonts being used ( though that may have been intentional to indicate 'balance' ). |

| I don't like how you put the text in there. The photo is great but the rest is terrible. -4 |

| Reminds me of "birth school work death" but very nice balancing spider shot. |

| If only the line were bowed down instead of up! Also, would have left off the four items in black. My personal feeling is that the shot and message is effective with just the red message. Let the observer add the rest. Nicely done. Good luck |

| Interesting use of subjects. It's nice and vibrant! I really would have put the text straight. Also the text seems very smoothly anti-aliased with the background, which looks a little harsh. Good effort. |

| I like the idea, but typograhically it is all over the place and distracts. It also seems as if it is a lot of photoshop putting together, instead of a single photo. |

| I like the way the flowers frame this photo, maybe the pink one was cropped a bit tight. Words could be a bit more in order, because this disorder doesn't really give the balanced feeling for me. Otherwise the idea is very good, I like it. |

| The text is too busy and overpowers the photography. |

| Interesting idea. I'm afraid the colors don't work too well for me. |

| Interesting idea about the balancing act. But the text is so very ugly. If this was a joke, then sorry. But if you are serious about this motivating someone, I think you've just succeeded to scare them away. |

| this would be a superb shot if it didn't have those words so big. |
