Well-composed and well-lit. I wish there were a touch more room at the bottom but it's not any big deal. Nice job, one of my favorites.

Hmm, never drink Absolut Vodka and all these fany tastes are distracting from the pure wodka taste. BUT! But your image makes me wanna go out and by some Aboslut Mandrin. :)

great photo, great idea, and the text would just fit nicely in the upper right corner 10+

My evaluation method of this challenge is as follows:
1. Did you catch my eye while I was driving by? Yes
2. If I didn't catch the text while I was driving, did you intrigue me enough to look for this billboard again? No.
3. Did you sell your stuff to me? not really.
4. Extra thoughts: The photo is great. Clean and clear. But as a billboard? I don't know. I'm not curious to know what you're selling. The tiny bottle makes me think of anti-coughing syrup, The transperant look of it don't help me connect the bottle to the oranges.
the only thing in favour of this shot as a billboard is that Absolut sells itself. (6)

I am rarely fond of borders, but your wonderfully clean and simple photo helps me overlook that. 9

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.
--------------------
this is a great idea. excellent colors and composition. to work as a billboard, you'd need to lose the border and make the bottle a bit larger. good job with the lighting, and good luck with the challenge!
