Not my most brilliant effort IMO, but what results from a quick eleventh hour scramble.

Very nice job. I like the way you let the subject speak for itself.

I thought of using a text on hope as well, that's normal. But not normal how you set up, different, well done.

Very simple but powerful. I wish I could see a bit more from the magnified words (e.g if the magnifying glass was abit more toward the right). GC

idea is good, but somehow the overall picture doesn't appeal. why do i see the text on may be the backof the paper all over your background .. just not that clean ..need better lighting and cleaner shot.
