This is too dark for a billboard. Idea is good, and having the tomatoes more to the left (or right) to leave some negative space for the text, together with much brighter background would have been better IMO

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 great start. beautiful colors. probably a little too centered, but not bad. you might consider an angle that offered a little less stem and more of the tomatoe, itself.

Rich and luscious. Good negative space for text. One thing, though; typically, a billboard will run text flush right, so the image leads into the text, so I'd have dlipped this horizontally... Very strong entry.
