| This is sheer, inspired genius. Ubique's comment below sums it up perfectly: you've captured the ambivalence of those in the middle. |

Hi Greetings from the Critique Club!
Well, how to critique this without stepping on political toes, as a former american who is not to happy with the USA at the moment I think it is an evocative and interesting photo. From a strictly photographic perspective, I really like the color and the image, it is colorful, the dark ominous figure adds to the drama. I really like the textures in the flag area. I do not know what a scrim is but I think I would love to get one.
I could really see t his image being used as some kind of political comic/satire or used in some kind of advertising campaign. I think it is a creative take and I like it.
My only big critism would be that the guys hat seems a little long, I suspect it is suppose to be a KKK take but it is still a little on the poofy side : )
Well done!

| Appears as though your subject is a clone and drop. Doesn't seem to fit naturally. |

| Without question the most artistically ambitious photograph in the challenge. Dealing with the Abu Ghraib affair for most people involves an uncomfortable moral and ethical collision. The views of the extremists at both poles (the vehemently anti-invasion and the unreservedly pro-invasion) are essentially irrelevant here; it's the position of those in the middle that is interesting, and that's exactly what your image is about. The dilemma; can one maintain commitment to an honorable entity when it employs dishonorable methods? It's the old "end justifying the means" question, and it has no easy answer. I think you have represented that dilemma brilliantly here with the visual symbolism of the distorted and tortured flag as a backdrop to the similarly mistreated prisoner. And of course there's also your title, provided for the imaginatively-challenged viewer. I have no idea how you made this image, and no real interest in finding out either ... it's just very refreshing to see photography used with such ambition and to such effect. 10. |

| Very well done. This is clearly Michael Moore's next movie. I'm first on line. |

| Kind of strange photo, but I like it though. I think it will do good as a movieposter. |
