Great capture. Love the tones and the clarity, yet not oversharpened.

I dont know if anybody would make such a billboard, but this photograph is awesome. Love the sharpness and the b/w. Bumping up to 9

Edit: This is a 10

I don't know if I like the title all that much, but the picture speaks for itself. Very cute and very good capture.

Very nice baby portrait, expressive and appealing.
(I would have composed it differently, placing the baby on the right side, to make room for text.) Still very effective shot!

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.

Very crisp shot.

Gorgeous shot, but you haven't allowed space for text on the billboard. I also wish we could see more of the bottom lip. Strong entry.

Awesome shot and idea, but you're cropped too tight on the bottom and not quite centered.... If ya pulled the crop back just a touch you'ld have a tad bit more negative space on the sides, but a more natural looking composition!

Nice pic, but there should be an area for the printed message that does not get lost in the image itself.
