Critique Club feedback -

The message in this shot isn't really motivational, and that probably attracted some negative votes.

The crop of the shot, in oroutside of this specific challenge, is really not pleasing to the eye. There are shapes and ratios which we expect to see because they are found in the world around us and have been in use for thousands of years. Sticking to something of a classic rectangular 2:3 or 4:5 crop would probably work much better here.

The image does work well with your message.

Great photo to go with the words. I don't see this as motivational but this IS put together very well. Good luck!

I like the pic, I like the message, I just didnt like the fadeout around the edges (too much speckle), although maybe thats the look you were going for...

Great message, seems a little dark though.

The photo works perfect for the message. I don't like the fade around the edges into a black border. One or the other may have worked better.

nice capture, but more public service announcement than Motivational Poster

A beautiful image with an essential message but IMO it doesn't really say "Motivational Poster" to me.

I'm not convinced any violent person would be stopped through this.
