overexposed 1 stop, unsharp mask, curves, resize. Considered reshooting to straighten up one bottle and thought about removing reflections. In the end I decided I was pretty happy with the shot and since I only had an hour and a half left in this challenge I should just leave it as is.

Very nice shot, a little sharper anggle on the bottles alingment would have really created the extra negitive space to the right that could have been used for text but the image speaks well for its self as is

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.
