As I'm sure you know, you missed the point of the challenge. Maybe you read the challenge description too fast? I know it also mentioned that this was a follow up to our "Looking Up" challenge, however, that doesn't mean it was the same, only complementary to that former challenge. There's not much else to be said, except that even if this were within the challenge rules, this photo wouldn't do well because of the quality of the shot because of I don't know what. Some said it was compressed incorrectly or something(the grainy grid pattern). Hope you do better next time! Just take your time when trying to understand the challenge description.
Nice shot of a flag up on the flag pole, nice color of the sky too, but weren't you supposed to shoot from UP on top of the flag pole looking DOWN at us? I don't think you're going to get a pass on the Challenge rules. . .
couple of things here... was this photographed through a screen? There is a crosshatch pattern on the image and I can't determine what it is... secondly, this looks to be from below rather than from above? - setzler
Sharp photo! Good color. Challenge - fully missed the idea, you are looking up, not down. I see a mosaic of checkerboard mainly on the sky, I don't know what caused it, but it really hurts this image. 5 Swash
You should have climbed the flagpole and taken the shot downwards to meet the challenge properly. There is a small amount of artefacting in this photo, probably due to the saving for web function.
Oops. If this is a reflection, then I think you need to include something that makes that clear - the challenge, I'm afraid, required 'any subject, taken from above it'
