I love the subject. The colors are vivid and perhaps too vivid. The artsy look has an appeal but I'm not so sure it stands as straight photography. I'm not saying you should do it any differently, but for this site it's probably too artsy. The processing left marks that look like they don't belong, like on the stars.
The composition is neither divided into thirds or half. It is somewher in between and could stand to be shifted into thirds. The principle of thirds isn't right for every picture and is sometimes relied upon too heavily, and adhered to too strictly. But in my opinion, it would have worked well here. Show more of the stars on blue and a little less red and white stripes.
Great subject! |

| Sigh - I thoguht (I still think) this picture was a ten! I like the post processing too. Is this a sign that American patriotism is out? Did it lose points because of the title? What happened? |

| to be honest, i wasn't impressed by the thumbnail of this image, but i am by the actual picture. the look and style is very interesting. very abstract, and interpretive. i'm going to give you a 9, and only because: the half and half composition doesn't work too well (it's ok, but it'd work better closer to thirds). |

| From the thumb nail I was ready to give it a 10. But at full size it's ruined by over sharpening it. The flag by itself, just as it is will hold its own. PTL 3 |

| I do not know how to grade this one. Almost looks like a drawing. |

| I cannot believe that more people didn't do flags for this challenge - I certainly thought about it!! I'm glad now that I didn't because I couldn't have beat this. Very nice, I love the art feel of it. lhall |

| Nice photo, but the color manip seems to have degraded the overall photo. 6 Swash |

challenge -- met
techincal -- i'm assuming that you overexposed this one on purpose. personally, i'm not so fond of it, because of the 'smudges' left in the stars and the white and red stripes.
composition -- i would have included a tad more stars and less stripes (closer to rule of thirds), but, again, that's just my personal opinion. nothing wrong with the way you've done it, either.
