why invert it?

That one's even more shredded than the one I've been shooting.

great find, but i would've still liked to have seen the flag in its original colors.

Broken colouration too, is that it? A technically fine shot, although I have a resistance to the subject matter which won't cost you anything - but I have a stronger resistance to the wacky colouring: it makes the flag an unfamiliar thing, and yet your title suggests that it should be an immediately familiar one. Maybe the impression of confusion is one you wanted to sow, but to my mind it is incoherent.

I get the feeling I'd love this if the colors were natural; as a negative image it doesn't work for me.

I like the surreal quality...pretty insane.

Reversed colors to give the image a real eerie feel of triumph. 7

I'm not sure I get the point of the negative coloring.

Inverted colors aren't doing it for me...

The color shift does not work for me. Creative interpretation though.

nice, is this infrared?

I think you have a great photo here but the post shot adustments (or infrared filter)dont work for me. I think this would be much more of a shot if the flag was normal color.

I never have and never will truly appreciate shots that are treated with this type of psychedelic coloring...

I think the photo would have been more effective withtout the color inversion.

I would have loved to have seen this in it's natural colours...I think it could have been a great shot!

The focus, the clouds, the moment, the message and the subject all added up to a 10 photo.

The angled flag pole and the post-processing have reduced that significantly...I give it a 6...I can't wait to see the original!

The flag is a nice shape, good sky. Why are you inverting the image and using this title? What are you trying to say? Is this an effective way to get your message across?

Bold entry. Palette shift creates a stark image which conveys your point nicely, albeit a dark theme.

Would have had more of an impact (to me) if you left the flag RW&B. I like the sky in the background but find the saturation of the flag will cause you some higher votes. Still gave a 5 based on the composition (7 if flag was untouched). Would like to see a copy with the flag untouched.
