Taken in the driveway. Some curves, blurred and desaturated the background, upped the saturation on the car to bring out the red and orange lights, and sharpened quite a bit.

Excellent

I think this would be stronger if the car was either parked three-five feet further forward or shot from a higher angle, so that the windshield and roll bar could be backed by the snowbank instead of extending slightly into the woods.

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 idea for a billboard. i think the background is a bit of a distraction that a heavy gaussian blur could handle. i don't know if you had control over this or if you simply found it, but if possible, this would have been great if shot with an open field of snow for a background.

Fabulous car shot, very sexy and well placed with a great background that does not take away from the car. Great shot. 10

If you actually own this car I hate you, unless you'll adopt me.

the car is so well captured that its a pity the background is so lackluster, especially those trees.
