Would vote it higher if you had cropped out the innocent bystanders at the bottom :-) Sorry! 5 nards656

This would be a good shot minus the crowd at the bottom of the photo. -6

I would have liked this one more if you cut out the bottom with the people and just had the flagpole. Great shot of the flag. 5

The people could be cropped out to make a better picture.

Not sure if it was possible or not, but allowing more sky at the top and chopping the people off at the bottome would have made this much more effective, I think.

very red white and blue, no, really...

colors are washed out...

I think I would have liked this picture better if the colors of the flag were a little more vibrant and if you had cropped out the people at the bottom. Overall, I like it though.

Flag needs more contrast.

I find the colours rather dull. Try using a polariser next time. You could also improve this by adjusting the saturation etc.

I can see it now...someone is going to complain that your flag is backwards. to me that seems rediculous. if we were only meant to see the flag with the stars in the upper left hand corner, then it wouldn't have 2 sides. I only say this because at photosig, seems like that is a huge deal. Personally, I like seeing it "backwards". I think this might have had a higher impact if the bottom people were cut out. Then it would just be the flag and the neg space. lighting is good, and angle and framing are also ok. the focus and clarity of the flag is good, and the neg space is clear. overall nice job. good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

The people and the bottom in general distract from the flag. Also, a slight rotation to get the pole straight would help the picture.

looks whited out, too bright. good idea

I like flags :) I think this image may be a tad over exposed. The color is a tad flat because of the exposure possibly. - jmsetzler

Instead of cutting the people off at the bottom I think leaving them off would of been better. This way they are chopped! Good color, action on the flag and pole.

No, not quite

Cropping out the people at the bottom and adding more sky would have given me a better sense of negative space. Nice sharp focus on the flag :)

sorry, I don't see the flag as negative.
