I suspected this would get hit with some anti-American sentiment. I guess we all vote with hearts on some level. Great job and deserved a higher placing. I'd like to think if I saw a well-done picture of another country's flag I would vote "somewhat" objectively. Otherwise, this is less about photography and more about a personal political statement.
I'm as tired as everyone else of the boring old cliche flag shots.
This IS NOT one of them.
This is a GREAT image. It portrays a feeling of history. This flag has been somewhere, and it has a story to tell. Maybe to Iraq, maybe from years of being hiked in and out of boy scout campgrounds. I don't know, but I'd love to find out.
Great lighting, great composition. Just great. I love it.
One of the best stars 'n' stripes photos I've seen. Looks like a well worn, quality flag. The detail on the stars is especially good. Seems a little strange seeing the stars filling the top half when you're used to seeing the whole flag, but it doesn't really detract (and is quite possibly more effective this way).
I'm gonna guess that your not getting great scores here because there is a lot of anti-American sentiment going on in the world right now. I will tell you that as soon as I saw this a little lump popped up in my throat. Good shot! A little gritty but I think it fits the image. Keep it up and don't let anyone against this great nation insid or abroad bring ya down.

Cool shot. Good lighting and great detail. I like the faded worn flag. I think it portrays a rugged strength type thing. Very cool, symbolicly. Nice job. As I'm sure you already know, keep in mind with your votes that this is a very international site, and the display of an american flag could garner many negative reactions and votes, no matter how well done. Cool pic though, I like it :-)
This has a really great vintage feel to it...I really like the processing, it almost looks like a hand tinted film image...the light is really nice. This is actually one of the better flag images I think I have seen, at least for me...well done.
