Hi lionelm,
This is certainly quite a controversial picture you took. When I saw it, I think I rolled my eyes, and then I thought... wait.. this is a very emotional picture if you read into it.
For instance, take a look at one of the most popular forum threads on DPC rant.
Technically, the shot is near perfect in my eyes. I like the negative space you used, and I LIKE the helicopter above the white house. It adds to the paranoia/suspicion felt in DC at the moment. They are watching everybody/everything. I'm surprised they still allow people to take pictures of the white house. I think it may have been a bit better if you'd have used a higher aperture setting, around 8'ish, to get the white house fully in focus as well.
What's that weird blue thing on the rightish side of the photo? I have no clue what that is, and it seems a bit distracting to me! Other than that, superb idea. Very creative.

Lovely shot of the white house and the flag flying above it, good color of the sky, but I think the helecopter flying above it is just too high. Great photo though
Okay, but WHICH emotion is this portraying. I dont get it. There's the White House and a helicopter.... that doesn't say to me "Fear" or "Happiness" or "contempt"
