Not sure I can connect with the fly(?) as a symbol of success but the shot is interesting. The title and quote (author?) need to be a stronger element in the poster. The color/size/ font could be better.

I like the photo, framing, and message. I don't care for the fonts chosen for the text - the text appears to be somewhat blurry.

Overall, this is really awesome - but I can not easily read the font, it is just a wee bit too small.

I think you've used a number of dead flies before. If it was flying, it would be better and showing action for motivation. Make the motivational phrase support the picture and vice versa.

Very nice work!
I wish I had this in my room when I was growing up :)
Is that the same bee that someone was keeping in the fridge or freezer? LOL
I would have the the thin boreder to be more white along with the text so it stood out and had more puch.

Tell me it's not Jacko's dead fly again? (Before the head fell off, naturally).
I like the image and it's link with the message. Font colour, size and clarity don't work well for me.

Great closeup. Is the poor fly stuck, or simply getting something (food? moisture?) from the cactus.

great shot, title is slightly fuzzy with that font.

I don't quite understandyour concept. There's no notion of fear in tihs shot - the fly appears to be perfectly contented and adapted for this task. Your choice of font hasn't worked out very well - it's very fuzzy.

I'm not fond of the text, it's in bold and hard to read. The _point_ of course is Success..and that I see clearly. Nice shot and a good entry for this challenge.

Nice shot of a dead bug, but I fail to see how it relates to the Motivational Poster subject or the phrase on your poster. Good lighting and DOF

Very nice poster - interesting subject, good typography.

Nice closeup. I am not big fan of flies on catus these days, but your shot has nice flow to it with the background lines seemingly streaming out of the cactus. The smaller text is kind of blurry, but still legible.

Love the photo. The text lets it down slightly as it is hard to read and could be a little sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the photograph, macro is excellent, DOF is good, but, pardon me because it just might be me, I am not able to connect the message with the picture.
