I don't have high hopes for this one, as I don't expect most people to understand it... and it's a bit of a political message, so that's going to work against it as well. However, I really like how this photo turned out, and I think the message is an important one, popular or not. Not sure if people will consider this as action or not, so maybe I'll get the brown ribbon :)
If anyone doesn't get the message... this is a criticism of American culture, with our reliance on electricity and environmental negligence. This is what you see almost anywhere you go in America - it's increasingly difficult to find clear, blue skies and open spaces.
Editing: Resized, curves, levels, sharpening, slight Neat Image, more curves, adjustment layer, border. |

I'm a little surprised by the processing comment... since this would have made it even in basic editing if not for the one adjustment layer. I guess that's what happens when the sky's naturally dramatic :)
And I don't know about the red thing... something on the power line.

| This is a beautiful photo. It seems to make a statement to me that is a bit beyond the normal. = 10 |

| I really like this image. It isn't the typical shot of the flag on a mountain top or in some other picturesque setting. Nice shot showing urban America. The only thing I thought was strange was the small bit of red at the top right of the shot. What is that? |

| Too much background which distracts from the lovely flag and beautiful sky. |

| Usually this type of image wouldn't do much for me, but there is such a striking composition here, that I am just drawn to gazing at it. Fantastic work! |
