Return for comment. Super shot--love the close crop, the way the colors interplay, and of course the message.

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.

what a gut-wrenching concept! i hope you're not getting too beaten up for the size; you really could have cropped off the top without diminishing the impact of the idea. very evocative. not necessarily the best photograph, but at 60 mph, people aren't usually looking at the details...good luck!

Love the image, but you've made no allowance of negative space for text on the billboard.

Very nice pic, great expression but there should be an area for the printed message that does not get lost in the image itself.
