The goose is obscured by the weeds and much detail is missed by that, the building behind him is competing for attention as well. Perhaps move a bit off to the side would have given better composition, at worst he would have flown away and you would have gotten a wing shot!

What is this advertising?

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'm not quite sure what you were after here. as an image, the background is too busy and the subject too centered. as a billboard, there's not much room to get your idea across, and, as for the challenge, i'm not quite sure what you're promoting...
