Feels more like an advertisement, than a motivational poster, however, the shot is very nicely done. The only thing I would change would have been to use the Perspective in Photoshop to "reorient" the perspective of the shot. Nice warm lighting in the background works well with this shot.

Real quick, I really like the idea and shot. I do not care for the wide white border on all sides. But that is not real important, it just means I would not buy it as a poster.

This looks more like an advertisement than a Motivational Poster. Nice image.

Cool photo, and the fontwork is good too - nice kerning.

Very elegant indeed. Great colors, angle of view, and setting. I am missing some of the "motivational" aspect here.

The border is a bit over the top I think It would have been nice to focus on the table and not the triangle of the ceiling its a bit destracting

Lovely colors and lighting, especially on the glasses. But if you're going to tilt deliberately, do it enough so it is obvious. This gives a slightly off impression that's almost dizzying.

I'm not sure this is "motivational" but it's a nice set-up.

Nice photo, although I think the bottle is a little blown out. I am not sure what is motivational about it however

It sure is elegant. The white border has stuck me as a pleasant surprise after seeing lots of other photos with black and dark borders. IMO white works much better here than black or a dark color would have. Good luck with the challenge!!!

The idea is good, but the shot is too busy for me. It mayhave worked better under more intimate lighting conditions - using just the bottle and maybe a candle and a couple of glasses alone. Aside from all that, it doesn't convey any sense of motivation.

Nicely shot. Maybe light the candles? Good colors.

The border is beautiful and the message goes with the picture, but the image seems cluttered to me. Maybe set up as a table for two would be better.

Beautiful and elegant for sure. Great colours. Amazing clarity. The thin font works really nice with this image and I really appreciate that you didn't gunk it up with a huge thick border. Very well done.
