A really nice Fall background. I love the depth, it draws you in. Good luck.
-
This has a an elegant appeal to it. The margin is a snug fit, and not to large, which is how I prefer them
The picture is lovely, a nice choice of colours. Font wise, many would go well with this one, so very font friendly Tho hard to tell like this there does look to be a line at the top, which would cut the gold bar as a small seam. Over all this is a beautiful background, not to busy with leaves etc, the line to me is perfectly placed and a very good width

Lovely background here, I like the fact that it is dark, I prefer to write poems with light font so this would work very well for me. Nice work!

I think this is an effective background. The black is very classy, as Bear states.
I uploaded this to see what the whole effect would be. The background is not seamless; there is a thin black line at the base of the vertical bar and the bottom leaves.
The thin gold bar, though perfect in weight is too close to the border bot.
The font you chose for the word "FALL" and your name is a swash cap font. Swash caps are meant to be used with their lower case counterparts. They mimic the swashes in calligraphy. They are not meant to be used together.
Since you chose a single image for your border, it should be well defined and exquisite, a breathtaking scene. The color on this bot is nice, but enough of it is not defined or in shadow that I don't feel it is an outstanding image.

Hey there
First impression.....Classy work!
Lots of Boldness to anchor this piece of Art......Colours in Background are splendid, and open my eyes to view with much more depth and appreciation ~
Vert L from Bord to Back is exceptional in size and colour......Bord is lacking another Bot, as I like to see Graphic Artists work in Odd numbers.......yes, I know one is odd
.....but, you get my drift
I do not see any amount of Font on here to really assess my ability to utilize it i the future....with your permission....
...but I can tell, whites, oranges, yellows....greens, are all able to be used.....long story short.....this is really a superb creation......I shall ask you shortly where you pulled your work from......I can tell it's not just photoshop ~Lovely job.....nothing more to critique here......this is in the top 3 .......for me
Good luck and God bless,
Bear ~
Title....15.0...I do not see one.....except...*Fall*, which is in your Bord.......you must attatch a Title....however, not yet, as there is no editing until contest closes....however, we did not tell you a Title was needed....therefore, I will go with Fall ~
However, Fall is about as cliche' as it gets.....your score has been hit hard here
~Colours.....19.95...Brilliant.....and even with the depth of blacks, I find it still shines bright ~
Creativity...17.75...I think you need two more Bots to level your aesthetics......Back is simple, yet very affective....not too much work, maybe placing foliage ontop of black plane..... but it works ~
Presentation...19.95....simply classy and outstanding presentation ~
First Impression...19.25...simple, yet sure makes me enjoy how you have presented this work ~
Bears Score: 91.9
Very cool....looking forward to your next entry,
....good luck & God bless,
No editing once a Judge has touched your work, or until after contest closes ~
