How did you add the text? You obviously didn't do it digitally.. printed it out on the background? Actually, given the reflection in the glass, It looks like that's exactly what you did.
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? Yes
3. Did you sell your stuff to me? No
4. Extra thoughts: First - bumping up just for being validated! I was one of those who requested a DQ for the text here. But now that it's valid, I must say you did a wonderful work with it!
As for the billbaord, the idea is nice but I don't feel it is strong enough.
The photo is good and deserve the score. But the concept as a whole is missing something... (6)
I could see this on a billboard for sure. I just hope that was words you took a photo of and not post editing. Leaving it up to Site Council to decide. Nope I didn't request a DQ. Just voting as if every rule was met. Good shot. One of my favorites. 10
oouuu, i'm telling! you put TEXT on your entry. i'm deducting one point for each letter! you're just lucky your dimensions are the RECOMMENDED 640x320; otherwise i would deduct a point for each pixel off. so, let's see, that's gives you a ... 10 -26 = -16!
I imagine you printed the sign w/text, laid it on the table, put the key in the glass and laid it down... maybe you should have had this validated to eliminate low scores from suspicious people that will think that you added text.
One suggestion - you should have made the letters heavier - using extra bold typeface perhaps.
imo would have looked better w/o the words... i am very picky w/ fonts and this is just my personal opinion but that is a very bad font (im guessing its times new roman?) to use for such a photo, something bolder and classier would have been better.
