| Well-composed and well-lit. I wish there were a touch more room at the bottom but it's not any big deal. Nice job, one of my favorites. |

| Hmm, never drink Absolut Vodka and all these fany tastes are distracting from the pure wodka taste. BUT! But your image makes me wanna go out and by some Aboslut Mandrin. :) |

My evaluation method of this challenge is as follows:
1. Did you catch my eye while I was driving by? Yes
2. If I didn't catch the text while I was driving, did you intrigue me enough to look for this billboard again? No.
3. Did you sell your stuff to me? not really.
4. Extra thoughts: The photo is great. Clean and clear. But as a billboard? I don't know. I'm not curious to know what you're selling. The tiny bottle makes me think of anti-coughing syrup, The transperant look of it don't help me connect the bottle to the oranges.
the only thing in favour of this shot as a billboard is that Absolut sells itself. (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.
--------------------
this is a great idea. excellent colors and composition. to work as a billboard, you'd need to lose the border and make the bottle a bit larger. good job with the lighting, and good luck with the challenge! |

| Better title: "Absolut Orange Flavor" - Great job though. Maybe they'll pay you for it. |

One of the better of the Absolut shots in this challenge.
The colours and clarity are good. Great high key.
I hate to be one of those commenting on the border, but in this case, I really do think it would have been so much better without it. Maybe if the lowest orange slice wasn't so close to it, I wouldn't have mattered to me so much.
Overall though, fab shot :) |

| Love the title and nice job not overexposing the edges of the bottle like a lot of people did. 7 for now with a possible bump later. |
