| What a gorgeous take on this wonderful animal! The lighting, colors and composition are all stunning!! His head fills the frame perfectly for the impact a billboard requires. |

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? Yes
3. Did you sell your stuff to me? No
4. Extra thoughts: The photo is amazing. I would expect it to publish some wild life reservation park or a trip to africa.
Oats? is that all? How does the product look? How can I recognize it in the store? What is the connection to this sad looking tiger?
As a billboard you did not serve the purpose at all IMO. Gave you a 6 for an excellent photo. |

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 nice image, but, as is, i don't know how close this would come to making it on a billboard. you could have blurred and lightened the background so that it wouldn't be a distraction. this would have also made room for the message that would accompany the billboard. also, from a layout standpoint (and this is true with regular photography, as well), you want your subject looking into the frame, not out of it. on the plus side, the colors and capture are very strong, making it something that you can instantly latch onto while whizzing by at 65 mph. good luck! |

Somehow this don't look quite right. It may be oversaturated... Great composition though especially for this challenge.

Really nice picture. I would've titled it something like Michigan State Zoo (or whatever state/country you're from) to make it seem like a more believable billboard.
Beautiful color and exposure on the tiger. |
