Very beautiful scene here. Glad to see other countries associating their flags with 'freedom'! Personally I think I would have cropped out the sidewalk. IMHO there is too much of the front wall. Oh and I don't know if this is an American asthetics thing but I probably would have flipped the shot so the flag was flying to the right instead of flying to the left...to ME it looks backwards. Overall 7
Intersting shot. I like how this shot has many layers. The wall, landscape, hills, and the sky. The bold colors of the flag brings it great attention. The wall also leads your eyes from the left side of the picture toward the right where the flag is. Great composition.
Booo.....no just kidding, I'm not vindictive and I do think that this one is very clearly saying that every one has a voice, no matter how unpopular or vice versa. it's a good message in this contest, though I find it difficult to except in this case. Still nice colors and setting. Very important message.
I'm really not sentimental but... we could be German territory now if weren't for those who fought and died in WWII. I find myself feeling very grateful quite often. I love the stark flag against such a rural backdrop. I really do think that our flag is the smartest in the world!
