oouuu, i'm telling! you put TEXT on your entry. i'm deducting one point for each letter! your dimensions are 640x356, not the RECOMMENDED 640x320; i'm deducting a point for each pixel off. so, let's see, that's gives you a 10 - 57 = -47! (just to be fair, i had to count spaces and punctuation.)

--- ok, following is two more comments, a general one, then a specific one ------
ok, i am voting this challenge in 2 passes. in this pass, you will get a partial comment and a score. then i will come back to comment again. if you have any problem whatsoever with this comment, pm me and let me know. otherwise, take it with a grain of salt...i'm not trying to be a know-it-all, i'm just explaining where i'm coming from in voting this challenge. and, if this comment is NOT helpful (of if you think i'm full of $#!+), don't mark it helpful.

billboards are a science unto themselves. a lot of research has gone into determining just how much information a person can digest and retain in specific time spans. they use this information to develop formulas for determining the number of words and letters to use on billboards, as well as their sizes. they also determine the size and number of visual elements to include.

the graphics/photograph on a billboard are designed to get the point across in a moment. on the road, a driver will have less time with a billboard than a voter will give your image. this is a key element in the challenge: composing a shot that will get its point across quickly and succintly. along those lines, a strong composition will probably have few details and make strong use of negative space.
----------------------
great billboard! not to keen about your choice of fonts, but that's nit-picking. i also think you know you could have saved yourself a lot of anguish by leaving out the text...the image by itself works perfectly. hope you aren't getting beaten up too badly!

Not a bad idea that with a little reworking could really be effective. I would suggest that you get much tighter on the bottle to bring out the brand name more. Since your in so much tighter, the worm itself would also be bigger helping to make the message come accross more effectively. Your bottle kind of dissappears into the background. A slightly different color background would help that issue too. IMHO worth a reshoot and possible marketing to the company...

The one problem I have with this photo is that it took awhile to figure out what I was seeing. Otherwise, good job on exposure, nothing is blown out.

Neat shot. I kinda like the other swan shot in the challenge better. But you get props from me. Good luck.

Very pretty shot. I'm not fond of the thick border - it detracts from the picture.

This is my favourite so far..the only thing I see that may work against you is that your subject appears whiter than the background...hope that isn`t a problem as this is a great pic and deserves to be successful in my opinion.

I'm just curious, What am I looking at. A swan with a leaf in his eye?
