| I was going to make some comment about an ice chest, but I don't think I can make it all that funny so I think I'll just skip it : ) |

| This is very cool (even cold, I should say). It would work much better, in my humble opinion, if the model were placed a bit more to the left, at the thirds' line. |

| People looking at this billboard would have a hard time distinguishing that there is a bottle at all, let alone getting the trademark. Also, centered composition is not the best one in this case. Since you had natural white background, you could have created space for the text on either side by placing your subject near the edge. |

| Damn does that look cold! Its a nice idea, but try to put your subject in one of the thirds. a shot like this would definately have much more appeal that way. 6 |

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.

nice idea, would have been stronger if the subject wasn't centered, and if the snow had at least a 6-pack (or more) of coke bottles sticking out. this also could have used a higher perspective, so that the bottle and head weren't lost in the background. i don't know how this will end up scoring, but it does show creativity, and if you harness it, you'll get where you want to be. good luck! |

My hats off to the model -- I'm certainly not willing to go out in the snow like that :)
This ends up really busy with the trees and bushes. Eliminating those elements would have helped. |
