Effective desaturation requires or for me needs or reason to properly function.
- to isolate a particular part of an image
- to link parts of an image together
- to help tell a story.

I have tried for the latter..
1. A visual play on stripes with girls top and the flag.
2. This was taken in the UK but the flag is synonymous with the USA
3. Why is there an effigy on the flag, what does it symbolise,

It has a Turin Shroud quality and just make me think WHY

7 for defacing the imperialist banner.

I like all the repeating horizontal lines here - the two shirts on both women, the one woman's reflection in the door, the concrete section between the windows, and of course the flag.

Nice one. I had to look really hard at the flag and almost missed it. Well done. Top effort.

Nice, it has a very 1970's photojournalistic feel to it.

Took me a while to see the face in the flag. Nicely done.
