 Hammer and Sickle - symbols of the working class in Soviet Union.
I didn't have any proper red background, so I used a big and dusty metal plate.
It's my first picture in DPChallenge.

This got an 8 from me as well, I think it's a great picture. I like the background too, it fits the rustic feel of the working class tools.

This is a wonderful composition. The only think I think could be improved is reducing the shadows.

Very clear, good color for background (obviously) I think it's a winner.

I like this. however, I would have rated higher if it were a solid red background, or the lighting had been changed so that I don't see the marks/dust on the floor to the right.

Good comrad. I mean composition. I wish the table had been brighter, but the image is still powerful. Very good. Makes you think a little. "9"

Awesome!!! I want to give it a 1 so badly just to sock it to the old regime...but I will give it a 10 despite my ideological differences!

Very nice, Initially I was thinking,,ooo this should be a darker red background but after looking at it I realize,, great idea! 8 for concept etc.. I think it would have been a 10 from me if it had been a shade lower on the exposure

Great imagination nicely done.

I really like this alot. The only thing that annoys me just a little is that the red is not smooth. It's okay to see the wood under it, but I don't like the dust and the scuff marks...

Nice play on the flag (did you reverse it though?). I love the dusty background.
