I like the front, whit beautiful pictures. It caught my eyes at once. The letters are very perfect for the project. The color is excellent, and makes it easy to read. The back side is very good too. Very brief information.

Comment from Joyce K. Rischner
This is an excellent commercial composition. Yes it does grab the attention of the viewer and the back of the photograph (post card) is done well. Very professionally executed. I am sure that the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden appreciated this.

Comment from sidewinder
You have greek monuments in California? This is a nicely put together piece. I think it will be a reall hit ith people. I'm not crazy about the font, but that's not unusual, I almost never like typed fonts and that kind of limits what you could do. I do think the card really grabs your eye and it would make me pick it up if I was looking at a rack of postcards. So I guess I should just shut up now and simpley say, Well Done.

Sidewinder,
thanks for the time and the good review, yes picking fonts is really hard sometimes. But part of the job and the way to get the message across for this type of an activity.
cheers!

Comment from Steve Edwards
Lucien. This looks as good as it can get. I like how you did the colleges. I can not see any area that needs to be change. Very nice!

Comment from CrazyPhotoChick
it is ovious that the peice is god as it was used for promotion, but in MHO i would only have the golden poppy not the white poppy..golden is state flower..are the photos to showcase the state or the bot garden? If the garden and so.cal then i would remove Nor.cal refrences such as goldengate ..if this is to showcase the state i would remove the sweet pea photo and if you have one show the redwoods or yosemite, a bear state symbol....but Lucian it is very good, i am from cali so these were just my thoughts...i loved walking thru these gardens a beautiful place to have a art show...i did many weddings here..nice work

MissGdRnch,
you missed the mark, the idea was Imagery of California, the diversity of Cal. the very essance of what makes this state so different then all the rest and that is what the postcard wanted to convey. we spent hours deciding on the images, the know and the subtle stuff not know so we could strike a good balance, the beauty of the entire state, teh mainmade and the natural, the poppy is the State flower, the bridge is north, the peir sunset everywhere there is a beach city. teh grapes north and south and very thing in between, the desert plant and then the backdrop beingan image modified of the garden itself, Oh well I think it's excellent myself, but then I should.
thanks for the inputs.
next time maybe the images you think are the state will be used... I'll definately keep your comments in mind.
cheers and thanks for the time and the review, I disagree with your rating on this one the composition is spot... I appreciate you taking the time and in giving the review.

Comment from ftbtaxman
This is a wonderful display of California scenery. I love the wonderful pictures you have captured here. I live in Sacramento and love having such a wide range of places to shoot wonderful scenery. You have captured some of my favorites. Heast Castle, Golden Gate Bridge, wonderful sunsets, and the Golden Poppies are all breathtaking. I wish I could have seen this show when it was there. . Thanks for sharing.

Comment from hazylee
I like this, I think you have captured the very essence of California. Good balance and composition, it leads one into the botanical sense. The back is informative without being confusing - that is always good. Excellent I say, and uncluttered too. Most pleasant!! Good art my friend. H.
