Let's see...it's been about eight YEARS since I first started work on my little project,and I never thought i'd make it through.The staff at the local Mac store was nice enough to let me become a squatter there so I could use their Photoshop for free and come up with this.

Serious feedback? Ok....

The title of the movie should be in white so it stands out better.

I'd suggest making the tagline at the top bolder as well, for the same reason.

In order to keep the standard "aspect ratio" of movie posters, you'll need to compress everything vertically so you'll have room for all the credits that your distributor will want to stick on the bottom (Produced By, Directed By, Distributed By, Soundtrack Available On... Copyright... the rating... Dolby....).

The ground is deep with fallen leaves and nuts of White and Red Oak, and of Beech, that line and fill the footprints and the ruts which all along the wooded pathway reach. First claim, of course, to chipmunk and to squirrel for bleak mid-Winter sustenance belongs, as all around old leaves descend and twirl about, through feathered autumn songs.

I suspected the tagline didn't stand out well enough at first,but if it was any lighter I felt it might appear too washed out.I think the size of the title's lettering should allow it to stand out enough.
I expect the whole thing to be compressed once it is released for advertising with all the credits you mentioned.
