| Not sure what this would be be saying as a billboard, but I sure love it. |

My evaluation method of this challenge is as follows:
1. Did you catch my eye while I was driving by? Not sure
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? Yes
4. Extra thoughts: Nice photo and nice idea.
The only problem is that it's not a photo clear enough to catch me if I was driving by it. So it does not serve it's billboard purpose too well IMO. (6) |

| The smokestack is too small and the clouds it is creating don't stand out quite enough. Remember, billboards are generally viewed by people busy driving. Subjects need to be large and stand out from the background so that the viewer can pick them out instantly. |

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.
---------------------
this is a nice idea, but i think the smoke stack is a bit too small to really get the point across at 60 mph. maybe zoomed in a bit more. great use of negative space. good luck! |

| This is hysterical. Great marriage of image and title. The blank clouds on top are a perfect place for text; it's one of the relatively few strong entries that seems to understand the need for a text-space. |
