I think this was very well done. Not the most serious rendition of "strength," but humorous and different. The colors work well together, the lines of type all seem to move in the same incline, and the framing is excellent. Doubt you'll ribbon with this shot, but well done just the same!
This photo stinks! (joking) I don't see how it could stink. Fine shot for what you wanted I think - the set-up, lighting and colors and focus are all very good. Fits the challenge well, but just not a really interesting subject to me.
