Not a bad job, but not exactly a billboard I would see in my part of the world... ;-)

Comment by Jinjit:
My evaluation method of this challenge is as follows:
1. Did you catch my eye while I was driving by? Oh yes.
2. If I didn't catch the text while I was driving, did you intrigue me enough to look for this billboard again? Most probably.
3. Did you sell your stuff to me? Yes.
4. Extra thoughts: Amazing lighting, very erotic but is very pleasing even to a conservative eye. there's a faint creole scent in the air...
Works great as a billboard but I would also love to see this one hung in my bedroom. Simply a 10.

If this were an actual billboard the Christian Coalition would be all over it, but the photo is fantastic. I love the negative space and the beautiful lighting. 9

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.

i will be SHOCKED is this isn't on the front page. as an image, it's probably the cleanest of the challenge. as a billboard, it flat out rocks! this could cause cars to go off the road! excellent composition, impeccable control. good luck! one of my few 10s for the challenge.
