I was trying to remember all the billboards I've seen lately, and perfume's billboard kept coming back to me.

I took my wife perfume, a rose, made the picture and added a title that I think would be a nice selling statement on the Billboard

Nice shot, the babys breath leaves it feeling just a little busy though. Where it is at would have made great negitive space for the text of the ad

It seems as though the rose is the focal point in this picture, a little less of the stem would have been nice

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.

Great set up, I like the contrast off the green.
