| Wow, age 14, you beat my brother who started at 15. For a 50-year smoker at age 67, based on your self portrait, you're in really good shape! I always love seeing an exception to the rule :) |

| Very original idea and could be dressed up a bit more to make it really effective. This is one of my favorites because it is so twisted. Good luck. |

| It's a bit biased against one brand but the idea is great. Crop is a bit loose though. |

Your shot/imagery is too confusing to come across at 65 miles an hour. Also there is not enough pop to make me look the next time I drive by to see what your really trying to say.

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. |

| I realize you probably smoke Merit and cigarettes are expensive, but it would work better if each of the "tombstones" were a different brand. ...and maybe have some of those Nicorette products as pallbearers. :-) Also a lower angle. |
