Hello vtruan,
Well I do not see it as a poster and it lacks in motivation. If there where some medical personal or fire & rescue you could have squeezed some motivation out of it (helping the driver). This photo just shows us one hell of a mess, nothing to indicate how it happened or where for that matter. Cropping the top 1/3 of the photo would have allowed the road in the background to be more prominate giving the viewer some sence as to the where. The pink sheen through out the entire photo grass included tells me your white balance was a bit off here. The rig it self is nice and sharpe with plenty of detail.

The pink sky was natural, pink sunrise through light snow.

Kinda morbid for a motivational poster.

Nice catch but not a poster.
I will not vote down for that I vote for effort and final work.

It was ok to use text, just wondering why you didn't? Good focus, very emotive.

Put down the camera and save that poor bastard! :)
Try a little auto levels too remove the pink tinge on the sky and ground.

More like a warning than a motivation

Whoops. Looks like Wyoming I-90. Hope they were okay. Luck you had your camera along with you. Good capture.

I would like to see more of the truck and the context of its demise. Too much sky in this shot, I think.

This is a good picture. The sky is somewhat red. You didn't really make a poster.

I think the whitebalance was wrong in this shot... unless you wanted everything to look pink?

Great catch of a shot. Like the phraze, fits well with the image. The photo has a bit of pink cast.

Dude, that's horrible. Is the driver OK?

Yikes, that looks very bad. It will probably motivate me to continue avoiding driving big-rigs.
