This catches my eye every time I see it! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>
It's such a beautiful quote! "Be Positive" the way you represented the picture is Outstanding! Many deviants get motivated because of your pictures!
the background gives a very good effect!
This is a very eye catching piece! I love how you have compared B + to grades and blood groups!
Very innovative!
the handwriting is a bit sloppy,but why care,the picture and it's impact is what matters the most e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" title="La la la la"/>

the best time to look at this picture is when a person is feeling down,and it actually works I told my friend to look at it and she actually felt a bit better!

Very good picture!
Keep up the good work!
Keep on being innovative!

Caught my eye with it's stunning colour and the background. I love this one, it's very creative.

I like the way the paper and the writing compliment each other and how the background only adds to the message. It's a very nice touch, using a simple two letter/symbol thing and making it into a inspiring line.

The handwriting is a bit sloppy, but it works wonders, crating a "I'm not perfect, but I'm happy and that is what counts" sort of feel.

All in all, I think this piece is really eye-catching and has quite the memorable message behind it.

This caught my eye on the front page! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> I liked how you compared the B+ to to other aspects of life ( blood type and school grade).I also liked how you emphasized the ending with a different colour. I liked how the background didn't overpower the message. Well done on that!

This blew my mind completely. I would have never thought of this! I should think about this when I'm feeling down. I think people can really relate to this quote.

My concern is the writing; It could have been slightly more legible.. Overall good job and keep up the good work e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="" title="Clap"/>

This immediately caught my eye on the front page, and from the thumbnail I thought it would be some cheesy and tacky saying, which I think is due to the background (we'll come back to this later).

Your handwriting is kind of sloppy, but I actually like that. It's easier to relate to the piece, but I can't read what comes after "Neither my Grade in----." I want to say it's either months/maths (months sounds better, maths would be incorrect) but that's one of the few things that bothers me.

I'm not sure if the background was added in via Photoshop or something of the sort, but the way the piece of paper looks makes me think otherwise. I think it looks a bit tacky and I'm not a fan of the color scheme, but I wouldn't take anything I say about it to heart.

Yep, "maths" is definitely English. We use it here in Australia too

"Maths" is actually the British English way of saying "Math".

Ah, I apologize for my ignorance then. I'm in the US and my spell-check doesn't recognize it, and here people only use it when they're trying to be cute or something.

Just a heads up - if you're referring to "maths" it is a (British) English thing. See above.

I know, right? I mean, I sort of got used to the whole "Wizard" meaning "cool" from "Lord of the Flies," but I really don't get the pluralization... thing.

This photograph has an incredibly simple layout and message with colors and texture that make it very eye-catching.

I don't know if the message is something you came up with on your own or heard somewhere else but it is corny in a good way. It's the type of message I can see getting passed around my family in a chain email. I don't mean that in an insulting way. I'm just saying that it's a silly, uplifting, simple joke that appeals to a lot of people.

I enjoy the colors you used for your writing. The red is subtle because of the lighting but it gives B+ and "Be Positive" a nice little bit of emphasis. I'm actually glad that the red was dulled down by the lighting since everything else has very cool colors.

The lettering could be better. It's legible but I don't feel like it's adding that much. I'd either want it to be more controlled or more exaggerated. Right now, it feels like it's quickly written because it was done in a hurry. I'd like to be able to see some thought behind the lettering.

You have some great textures in this piece. The blurry background gives you a great implied space while staying abstract. We know what we are looking at but you control how much information we have so we don't get lost. The lightly sprinkled water drops give a great texture and adds sparkle. The paper texture adds to the mood for me too.

The cropping on this is great. The note isn't centered or straight so you've got a more natural, interesting feel.

There are a lot of pictures on dA of notes. I can't even guesstimate how many close ups I've seen of handwritten snippets in a notebook. This is similar but you've got a very different tone. We don't feel claustrophobic and the coloring is very cool. So, while this fits with those pictures, it is also its own piece.

I do black and white film photography so having those big white chunks at the edges of your picture makes me want to burn them in. However, that's a personal preference thing and I don't think the average viewer would be off-put by it.

This is a lovely picture. With the exception of the lettering, everything feels very controlled. It's got a cheesey message but people enjoy this type of cheese. Good work e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

This is an amazing piece of photography, when i saw it it made me smile.
I absolutely love this quote, being positive is something everyone should do a bit more often. Writing the 'B+ and be positive' in red is a beauitful contrast, to the blue sticky note. It also makes the 'be positive' stand out more ^^
The background is amazing, the use of water drops on a screen/window is a great idea , it makes the picture 100% original.Your writing is very neat which makes it easy to read.
Personally, i have never heard this quote before, but now i absolutely love it and i will try to be more positive.

The only suggestion i have for improvement would be to try and work a bit more with the lighting.

Hello! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="25" height="20" alt="" title="Hi!"/>

Thank you for letting me critique this piece of artwork! It was well-done and it came out beautifully! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

This quote really says a lot about how a person can and should live his/her life. If I could, I would box frame this picture and put it up on my wall. It definitely made my day a bit better after reading it. :]

I also love the background behind the sticky note. You chose a good time to snap that photo - it's super accurate and gives more meaning to the quote in my opinion.

Seeing the fallen raindrops on one side of the window, then a small ray of sunshine on the other, it really gets you to think about "being positive".

Again, thanks for letting me critique this photo! And thank you for your time! Keep up the good work and stay positive~ e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" title="La la la la"/>
