Challenge: Motivational Poster III (Basic Editing*)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Canon

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Wasnt actually shot for the challenge so a slight shoehorn, but i think it fits along the "give yourself some credit / self esteem".

The Advanced edit is much nicer having got rid of the annoying reflections in the eye and bringing out the colours in a bit more of a controlled manner as well as the reflection of the model.

A different idea. I am really not sure about the black side borders. To me they seem to make the rest of the picture look even lighter. As a result, my first impression was overexposed, yet as you look closer, it is very high key, but the details for the most part are still, to an extent, preserved.
The writing looks awkward by its positioning. The right choice of colour, but it just doesn't look right in that position, not that I can see a better spot though.......

Very sharp. I don't know what I think about the exposure. It's a little too bright for me, but the brightness also makes the eye stand out.
