First of all, let me say thanks to everyone for the comments!
Here is my picture from the challenge:
Its a new highscore for me! and its my first top 5 finish, so I'm pretty excited about that.
I had originally planed to submit this in color, but my color balance was all out of whack because I was using a mixture of constant lights and flash; I couldn't figure out how to fix that and still be legal under basic editing, so I decided to go with B&W instead.
I realize that some people thought that because I was using American flag shoes that I was trying to make a political statement, but that wasn't the case; I was simply trying to make a humorous photo, but feel free to take it how ever you want. In reality I was using those shoes because of my four pairs of converse, they are my least favorite.
Here is a version that I put up on my flickr and DA account, it definitely would only be legal under expert editing.
Anyway, thanks again!
