Our view....

I agree that the picture should be bigger. You don't even have to enlarge the picture, just double or triple mat it with a very narrow mat (1/16") and a larger mat (1/2"). That will draw the focus to the picture. I also think that less pink is better. It's a great accent color, but it's too dominant in the layout. I would use a basic color pallette of dark blue, light grey and pink. It will set the mood of the layout to be more peaceful which is what I get from the picture.

I love this LO but agree with the other posters who said it needs a title up top. This is just me, but I'd blow that thing up to at least a 5x7, if not 8x10. I have a tendency to do that to pics I like. Otherwise, this is a great LO.

The lo is great. I love the colors. and the quote goes beautifully with the picture.

I agree the ribbon is taking away from the pic like it is now. I would enlarge the pic to at least a 5X7 to bring more focus there. Personally I dont care for the circle on the bottom. I would change the base color to a pale yellow and keep the pink for accents. I think a lighter base color put put more focus on the pic also. But thats just my 2 cents ` what do I know.

Great color sombo and I like the tags. Great photo too! Love it all.

I agree that it need a title at the top and the only other thing I would do is move the diagonal ribbon, but I never like what I do anyway. I am my own worst critic. Beautiful colors and the picture is awesome!

I agree with enlarging the photo~ it is beautiful...and I would also move the ribbon (diagonal one) and place it horizontal above the dots.. Love the colors and the picture is amazing! can't wait to see what you do.

I think it is great, I agree on the title - there should be one at the top. I am not sure if you can do this at this point, but I would suggest enlarging the photo. I think that other elements on you page, especially the envelope and the quote box are too similiar in size to the photo. Right now it seems like all three are medium and you don't have a large scale object on the page. If you enlarge the photo I think it would emphasize the photo and bring all your elements together. Other than that it is great: love the color scheme, the composition is great, and the quote is perfect.

A title and maybe something on the pocket, prehaps some smaller circles in the same colors as the ones below. Maybe add a little chalk or ink to the border around your statement. These are just my thoughts. The composition is good and I love the colors. The photo is wonderful.

First of all, I think the pink/brown combo is great. Like the above post,I also think a title up top would be good. The diagonal ribbon is kind of awkward and guides the eye down off the page. Maybe move it around to where it brings attention to that awesome photo. Or maybe run it above the dots so it is parallel with the other ribbon. KWIM? Be sure to post when you decide what to do!
