I found several pieces of clothing that had "USA" or had "USA" flags on them made in countries other than USA. The clerks freaked out when I took my camera out in the store....so I had to take some shots in the dressing room (resulting in the shadows). 'Funny' I've been to several other countries and don't recall any tags stating "Made in the USA" - go figure. Would like to see a picture if you find one!

First I thought it's just another shot playing with patrotism, but then I saw the sign. That's an interesting message! The title extends the creativity very good.

It's an interesting idea, and I think it has potential, but the dark area on the lower right hand side spoils it for me a little. Good effort though.

nice shadows

The point you're making (the tag at the top, I'm guessing) barely stands out in the photo.

Love the way that the Made in Macau tag just sits almost out of frame above the US flag in this. I almost missed it, as I'm sure many American consumers always do...

The shadow is really detracting in this photo. I think a different angle, besides "straight on" would be much more effective. It seems kinda flat as it is. karmat

Needs to make more of the 'made in' label, perhaps by ironing it flat, and using a diagonal framing, cropping about 1/3 of the flag.

I would have scored this higher if the lighting was better... The pic fits the challenge very well, but the shadow kills it for me...

think maybe it might be a consumer problem?

This is the second of this type of shot. That doesn't hurt your score, but I find it interesting so much of Americana is imported.

Concept (in my mind) - Sad, but true. As for the shot- the setup seems kind of bland - no "tension" in the shot, and the shadows are distracting. My eye keeps seeing the flag and the blue stuff at the top, and I keep thinking "texture" - I think I've been brainwashed!

Excellent use of irony and an excellent quality photo. Well done.
