you should use curves to brighten the picture.

I'd like this a little more if the stuff in the background were white. I'm not sure if it was originally that tan color or not, but it makes the white balance feel "off". Beautiful composition and idea, though.

Took me a while to figure out the background. I think advertising people tend to sell the image/lifestyle rather than the product itself in these cases.....the lipstick container isn't particularly attractive whereas the woman applying it would have to be

Would like to see the kiss print in focus, or at least closer to focused.

Nice use of depth-of-field. The perspective of the foreground and background elements seems to be out of synce though.

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 don't find Bokeh photos often on billboards. Great image, but perhaps for a magazine, not for the big boards.
