When putting the lettering on I just you the photoshop application that we have at my high school, and it seemed to blur the picture a bit. I only noticed this after I had put the picture up.

Welcome to DPC, hope the harshness of your first challenge did not discourage you too much. That would really stink for the motivational poster challenge to demotivate someone, so keep trying or I will feel bad. You don't want me feeling bad and blubbering all over the forums. Slippy teases me when that happens.
The nice thing is, when you nail a good shot, and everyone wows over it, you know it is not false praise.
There are a number of artifacts, especailly around the words, but in other places, that detracts from the photo. I find the composition a little boring. Teh colours through throughout the image are nice and vivid
Tons of compression artifacts, and a small file size of 39k that also tells me you saved this with way too much compression. It's especially bad around the text. Always save with the largest file size and least compression that will fit in under the challenge limit.
The quality of the area around the font is really bad, I wonder how the font messed up that...and this photo lacks of a border (I'd prefer there to be one, consider it as you were writting a motivational letter and following certain rules) on the other hand I like the message
