Nice colors and composition. To me this photo is suffering from the basic editing size limitations. I like the border, but it is so large thus making the actual size of the image rather small. This makes it hard to see the true detail of the scene. The bright sky in the top left is a little distracting to me, but I know the exposure had to be long enough to get the detail out in the shadows of the trees. Its a beautiful photo and it would be nice to see it at a larger size.
In my belief there are more things that contribute for a great motivational/de-motivational poster:
Idea/creativity: 7
Quality of the photo: 8
Artistic viewpoint: 7
Frame/borders: 6I think the frame is too big...
Appealence of the font: 6 ...and the lower sentence too small
Average: 6.8 (7)
Yep, spot on. A perfect combination between the photo, the title and the phrase. I could see this on a wall, in an office, as a motivational poster. The entire poster is well executed, the green for the border and title (maybe could have been slightly more the grass green, but I am being really picky). The photo is great, the perfect thing for a poster, well executed and all. Well Done
