Hmmm, I think I like the December rules. Helped me get a nice solid black background.
Yea, I know, the title is supposed to be the title, but the quote is so long, I am taking my chances. Also, I didn't follow the typical/standard "motivational" format, so I am interested in seeing what happens.

Nice composition; great capture of the instrument, color, lighting. I like the placement of the quote and its color and font. I might have also place the bow in the photo to give it a sense that taking some action is a choice.
Nice lighting on that violin- it appears to my eye that there is oversharpening going on based upon the string appearance. Its a bit distracting. Nice phrase though.
Beautiful! Message is wonderful and image fits so well. I like the diagonal of the violin and the way the text has been placed into the negative space of the image. Simple font choice also works well.
Excellent work! I can definitely see this hanging on the wall somewhere to motivate students or employees alike. Love the lighting used here how you can still see the entire instrument but just barely on the left side Good luck with the challenge!
Just my humble opinion: since this is a poster, I wish the frame is thicker. This kind of composition will be enhanced (I think) with a bigger frame. Nonetheless, this is a very simple yet powerful poster.
