LMAO, what a douchebag... What are you supposed to do, fly around the world so you can show the patriotism in Liberia? Perhaps angry dude can be more of a worldwide thinker and realize that some people ARE NORTH AMERICAN.

Technically, there are a few things that can be improved, but the 14 1's and 2's are uncalled for and brought this down to an undeservingly low place. The sad thing is, if the flag was removed from the photograph, the 1's and 2's would probably disappear, as well. So much for worldwide thinking...

I almost have to refuse to vote in political subjects, but that's a current trend here... but this picture deserves the exception: You have managed to capture in a very simple picture (the best ones) many things: life, as in the waving flag, the geometries of the building, the neoclassical idea so tightly associated with politics in USA. Needs a little punch.

Great concept. I would have liked to see more of the flag in the foreground. Maybe a different perspective, or spot to shoot from would have achieved this.

A trend that is timeless...

given your chosen trend, would make sense if the flag was more the center of attention.

I like the composition, but I think I'd like to see the whole flag rather than just a portion of it.

I agree.

is patriotism a trend?

I like the way you used the two subjects togeather, it adds so much more then just another flag picture. Also the angle of the building leads the eye directly to the main subject.... Good job.
