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 for a billboard, and a very true cause (all four of our pets were rescued). as a billboard image, it would have to be somewhere where the viewer has ample time to take in the whole image. even though there are only two subjects, there is sufficient detail that it doesn't come across very quickly. this is a hard thing to do in a challenge, where you are really limited as to the editing you can do. all the same, nice effort, and good luck!

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