May 13th is my mothers birthday and she had a large elephant collection. Weird, isn't it, how your work can fit into someones(a strangers) life with such personal emotion. She has been gone 8 years now and I miss her everyday. Your picture has touched me with its simple composition yet brilliant message. 10
I like the saying, very fitting of a motivational poster. I find the lighting to be very effective, it illustrates the day we are talking about, and as a result, works well. I know that an elephant like that is meant to be good luck, but I am not sure it is adding terrifically to the image in this case. it is pointing to the day (a positive) but the lighting and shadows makes me think then he is a bit of an afterthought. but having said that, without him, maybe the image wouold be a little too plain. So maybe some better lighting, or a different position could have been better. White border in this case was right, not sure of the yellow colour of the phrase though, as that colour doesn't appear in the rest of the photo......
The composition is really good in here, I like the snooted light on the calendar, If the light was more dramatic, this image would've reached its potentials. 6
This is of course my humble opinion, I hope my comment is taken in a positive way, all the best,
