Focus is a touch off and I don't know if B/W works here....

"My Freedom"
by tfarrell23

What monument is this??? I don't believe it's Vietnam Vets Memorial in DC,or is it??. You did a good job of capturing the viewers reflection. Was this person with you? My first impression of him was that he was kinda disrespectful (didn't remove his hat!). Nice shot overall. Glad you kept the color.

Freedom of Choice

I don't like the title but love the shot. The title implies that you have to choose between the flag and the church and I don't see that to be the case. DOF is good but focus is a touch (take your pick) sharp or soft for moods I would try to read into this shot.

Freedom of Thought - giving it a chance

I woulda called it "Freedom TO think". Wonder if any one else will get it. Bonus points for originality!

Freedom to Worship

Very nice. I would increase the DOF a touch so that words in crease were more in focus. Very in sinc with the theme!!! And the text matches the title. Bonus point!

Having some...um...issues with extreme heights...I know I couldn't take a pic like this. Nice shot. I'm glad ya didn't turn it into b/w like people like to do with NYC shot. I don't think that woulda been right for this shot!!!

Freedom is never free
by Nusbaum

Comment:
I'm making an assumption here that because of the monuments subject that the monument is black. Given this....I think that this woulda been more powerful left in color because hues and colors in the reflections would make it 'blacker'. Focus is a little soft. The title I think in this case detracts from the image. The first thing I thougt while it was loading was 'duh' because the title is right there in the image. I don't usualy detract for title but in this case if it was title"____________________ memorial" I woulda had more feeling for it...

Hope it helps....

Fading Freedom
by GeneralE

Comment:
I don't get it....Where is the freedom that is fading??? What is the machinery that we are looking at??? This is a cool name, cool concept (fading away of our freedoms) but don't see freedom here because the subject is an unknown variable... If it was a typewriter or a gun or a bible (church, cross, insert religious symbol here) and all else was equal, 8 or more....this doesn't get that though.

Hope this helps.
