nice framing, it's almost perfect -- i'd like to see the bottom of the bell tho.

I like the symmetry of thie photo. I would like to be ablle to read te words more clearly on the bell.

A reall killer to expose correctly. I'd have gone under just a bit more to keep the sky from blowing out quite so much, then used a positive gamma adjustment to retrieve the shadow detail. The flagpole emerging from the bell is a little weird - might work better if you'd gotten it perfectly centered on the round bit of the bell's yoke and avoided the bit of the column at R.

Nice pic. I like the clouds and the angle.

Very nice, but what are the words after ALWAYS? Nit time: crop the cement lower right hand corner, and could the flag pole have been centered more with the top of the bell holder? (It's just a bit left of center, picky, picky, picky, yes, yes) Photo 9 Creativity 7 B&W 8 total 8

This might have some patriotic/symbolic significance I don't get because I'm not American, but it's a nice photo, if a bit starkly framed.

Great use of Black and White (dynamic tone), but I would like to see inside the bell.

Nice b&w usage. The flagpole cuts this right up the middle though. Seems a little dark in places also.

The thing on the lower right is distacting.

I like, but wish something would have made it into the shot completely. good job.

I like the concept and the contrast on this photo quite a bit but the tilt to the right is a little bit strange... :)

Good color contrast, I'm not sure I care for the angle. But that's just me.

Nice shot. Just would have made it easier to read the bell; it was a little difficult to see "willing" (i think that's what it says).

Parts look a little over-sharpened to me...sometimes hard to predict how much the final JPEG compression will affect that.

Nice shot. The perspective makes it work.

I guess I would suggest either -o-r here. The bell or the flag. Creative idea and a good try. Nice job.

The clouds against the flag are distracting. Otherwise great idea here.

good catch. good contrast.

Needs more detail on the front of the bell to really work - a reflector would have lifted the shadow just enough.

WHAT A BELL. Wow, it's huge!! Great capture.
