My shot was representing, to me, that the militaristic voice of freedom should be restrained. I was not condoning freedom at the cost of human life. I am not at all in favor of war as a solution to the difficulties life presents, surely IMO there are more civilized ways to solve problems. Thanks to those of you who commented, sorry for the confusion, though I am glad my shot made folks think some : ).

BTW it was NOT shot in sepia, this is straight out of camera with slight crop. Was a rainy day and this was the colors camera picked up.
I find the message (or at least the one I envision I see) to be kinda interesting. Here we have a picture representing freedom and it's in a cage! Of course the 'voice' also seems to be a weapon, which I also find curious. This photograph makes some quite bold statements. That said, I do like the sepia tones, and although it may lack any 'wow' factor, I think the message is what stands out from this photograph rather than being visually 'pretty'.
This photo could be interpreted in different ways. One could be that the voice of freedom is caged up and silenced. Very effective photo that can make one think.
Okay, um, interesting image. A little militaristic. I hate to think that the voice of freedom is "move aside or I'll kill you" or "don't even attempt to bring your problems to my shore". Still it's creative.
