technically very good use of desat - normally a turn off for me when this bold, but this is better than most. Maybe losing a little too much detail in the top of frame.

Without wishing to offend, the patriotic call implicit in the flag may switch off some non-US voters - very slightly cheapens the image for me as it feels as though the symbol is being used to evoke an emotive response that the picture would not otherwise demand.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

I was going to do something like this. Good work at desaturation.

The desaturation is effective, but having the flag in the center of the composition makes it a bit static. Perhaps more negative space at the top an on teh right
