Dude - congratulations on this high scoring masterpiece! I actually expected it to land in blue territory, but you have NOTHING to be ashamed of here... The entire concept, setup, technical shoot, and presentation are flawless. Outstanding work - and I'm so glad that it's YOU! Congrats again my friend!
yes, Diversity what........where is the motivational saying that makes this a motivational poster, rather than a statement. The image you have chosen does connect in well with the title. The colours are very bright and different. I don't know what this is that you photographed. Its just a shame it is not more closely linked to the challenge, as that will hurt your overall score
In my belief there are more things that contribute for a great motivational/de-motivational poster:
Idea/creativity:6
Quality of the photo:10
Artistic viewpoint:6
Frame/borders:10
Appealence of the font:10
