Not too experienced in creating things like this. Anyway I found this fun & really enjoyed creating this.
For this creation , I basically decided that it will be based on a bug because that was what I was going to shoot during my day off. Then from there , I tried to select the appropriate motivational phrase.
I wanted a phrase that was different, not common , suited the bug and I liked this phrase as I really do think that nature is perfection and the phrase was very meaningful yet uplifting (well at least to me).
Hope you all like it (and hopefully I can get the 1 point against ernie [user]bassman7[/user] to survive the H2H and at least go for a decider.

This has a delicacy that I do not associate with the heavy handed graphic style of the motivational poster. It might cost you a vote or two, but if this was on the market, I bet it would sell at least as well as the established aesthetic. Just about perfect.
I will be fussy.......your writing should have been capitalised correctly. I noticed straight away that Perfect is the only word in Title case. In Nature, Nothing is Perfect yet Everything is Perfect........yes, being fussy on this challenge......
Ok, Photo.........Stunning. Love the colours in the bug. The blues are just brilliant. The composition is good, the depth of field is perfect.......The Photo fits with the phase exactly.....Its a great shot.
I note you didn't go with the normal Black background which is good, nor did you go with the standard poster crop.
A really good submission for this.......Hey, i had to be picky to find something to comment on.....a good score from me for that stunning photo
