 This is what happens when you rush an entry. I had time to prep the photo but not enough to reflect properly on the form and the sentiment. Here's a re-edit based on your comments. I would appreciate your comments and critiques. Thanks.



Photographer’s Notes
Near Seattle today, there was an Italian automobile and motorcycle show. Think Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati and so on. Great fun! Beautiful machines! I am a strong believer in the value of education. Wealth and power in today’s society correlate strongly with how much education you have. My advice to young people is to stay in school. I wanted to associate material success with staying in school.
So here’s my poster.
I debated long and hard about putting the Ferrari logo on the photo. Many of these posters are “sponsored.” And since it’s a Ferrari in the photo, it is logical they would sponsor it. In the end, I left it in because it contributes to the wealth and power aspects of material success. This may have been a mistake. Comments will elucidate!
Enjoy!

Critique Club feedback -

Your outtake nails everything that the original shot came up short on. Really great shot of the car. If the model were flashing that smile at the camera this would have been over the top.

I totally agree. Stay in school, go to college/uni... and marry someone destined to be a filthy rich lawyer. Simple really. Wish more girls got it ;P

good shot, but does only in parts connect to the message (my impression is she didn't finish school but got the Ferrari as a gift from her waelthy husband). Ferrari-Logo on the picture is an absolute no-go. Typeface is much too playful.
