Aperture: 13
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/4

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

Not sure crop works (no tops but visible date stamp) and lean to the right is a bit offputting

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.
