It is inspired on Jmseltzer's famous "Liberty and Justice", ", you can find it here.
Believe me, I hesitated all week on using this photo for the challenge, I know I'm going to get many “not original” comments, but in the end I really liked this photo and decided to submit it.

For those who asked about the technique, It is a flag under a suspended glass with water drops on it (the glass is treated with RainX). There was a tutorial on how to do this by John Seltzer -Jmseltzer- (who I believe introduced the technique to DPC) but I cannot find it now, it is a shame, it was great!!!.
For those who asked about the subject, xtabintun was right, it is the Venezuelan flag.
Oh my - so welll done. My second or so challenge was the same technique. I hope you don't get beat about the way I was. I was accused of stealing, being unimaginative and nearly inhuman! The introducion of the yellow color is a great touch. I hope you do well - good luck.
Viva Venezuela! I love this shot. There are so many drops of varying shapes that it adds to the wonderful composition. Good job, I hope this does well.
Very well done! So sharp and such great color. At first it didn't seem to feel complex, but on second though, there are so many and so varied drops, especially tiny ones, that it really is a complex photograph. Cool.
Although I KNOW you'll get comments like 'the waterdrop effect is overdone' this is a well executed shot. My only complaint really is the right side is kind of blurry compared to the left side which is really sharp. 7.
I like this, well done and fits the challenge very well. It will amaze me if this will not be in top 10, It wouldn't amaze me if this will land a ribbon for you.
I love the simplicities of this photo, makes me fell very strange... Is that a flag on the back? Its just that "the sum of the simplicitties makes a great complexity"
An incredible photograph. Striking colors, unique concept, sharp image, etc. I hope you left comments on your technique, because I'd love to see how you set this up. Easily one of the best photos in this challenge. Good luck!
