Post: Does it matter where you are when you send a card to a friend or family, unlike towns and cities that have good subject matter for photographing as a post card, my town with a population of only 55,000 has very little subject matter, I did this shot and created it as though it could be from any where you wished,that is also a post card, I can see it was down scored for not displaying a town or city, and if I had put Hervey Bay how many would of known where it was.

I like the way you curved the text to arch over the sun and sort of lead us to the bird. Also really like the rocks on the shoreline - adds a nice balance to the shot.

I would by this postcard, I for one don't think you have to have a place attached to the card.

Where? Nice shot, but you have given absolutely no indication of where it is, which is something I think a postcard is intended to do.

Nice shot, IMO the rocks on the bottom and some of the sky could have been crop out.

The yellow is a little over the edge. The font treatment is very effective and clever. Overall the image is crip and sharp although where is here? :>)

slight cheese factor with the arched lettering but does add a sense of fun, 8

Wish you were where? This doesnt really tell the viewer where you are. I dont really like the text and Im afraid this is just a 5 for me.
