I remember hearing this phrase about 3 years ago from my then-neighbour, when I realized I had to find another place to live. She gave me her copy of the local paper, pointed out the ad for the apartment which I ended up renting for 3 years, before I went ahead with a rather large purchase... Thanks, Allison!

Oh yeah, the local library in Munster Hamlet is a converted church. This is the door to the book drop.

Critique Club feedback -

Good choice of imageto go along with your message.

Choice of font for the image itself is ok, though the key word could be much larger as really it is the 'point' of the poster. The color of the font isn't the best for this scene as part of the word blends into the photo beneath.

The photo is nice, but a bit on the soft side.

What a unique and lovely bookdrop! The things we get to see here - part of the reason I like this place. Very good illustration of your chosen "motivational saying", too. And how nicely appropriate to your new house situation!

I like the very unique door/window. I haven't seen one quite like it. Nice little catch phrase to go with your theme.

I like this image a lot, and the message is good. The graphics are rather uninspiring, and I think that is what hurt your score.

P.S. I really like the way the stones, radiate from the top of the door. You might have been able to accentuate that effect in PP to make the open door really radiant.

Interesting subject, nice poster. Shadow is a little off putting.

Seems like you need more contract in this one. The font doesn't work for me but great idea.

Good photo, might be better if your text was in the border and not on the photo itself, and not in that colour blue.

I love the humor in this one, but not real keen on the lighting. I would have like to have seen more shadows (depth).

Good solid inspirational quote. The image could use a bit more contrast though and the O and P above gets lost in the background unfortunately. Maybe justifying right would have helped?

Nice idea and photo. The 'O' in opportunity is too light for the background and might work better with a darker color, or offset to keep the whole word over the darker background

The text is lost slightly at the top
