I love the phrase.
It may have been better and easier on the child to have tried and catch him or her in another more motivational activity :)
Nice idea and effort.

very good idea, I like the colors a lot but the processing has left the skin too smooth and unnatural looking, especially near the center

My first impression was great; the photo grabbed my attention and the message came through. But it isn't something I enjoy looking at for long. I guess it might be a good poster for the back of a bus, but not an office wall.

Nice idea, the picture is soft tho and the choice of the color background is a little distracting

I think that the image is too stark and in some ways agressive. In a motivational sense, I'm not sure that your concept works.

the most important element in a shot of someone's face is to get the eyes in SHARP focus :)

What pretty blue eyes! A little soft of focus - but very nice.

Sweet picture. Beautiful colours and cute composition. But it is not as sharp as I would expect from this kind of close up shot. Also, you could have edited out the glare in the left eye and the redness in the baby's pupils.

Good use of panoramic layout. I'm trying to decide if I'd want those eyes at 3 feet across staring from my office wall .
