This image is of something very fantastic. I love the subject. The crop and composition don't appeal to my eye. The topic and meaning are very nice, but maybe if you had something in the background (a different side, different angle?) it would have given some context.
That all being said, I definitely like what I'm looking at in this. The little stubble of trees in the LLC is funny.
I don't like how this one is framed. I'm not sure I have a better alternative in mind right now, but I think this should've come out toward the center some. I think it should probably fill the frame a little more. The crappy sky in the background in my eyes contributes nothing. If it were all dark, it would provide some contrast. The dark clouds dull the mood of this nice piece of architecture though
Very Interesting. What is it? I was under the impression that there are strict rules on displaying 'Old Glory' and wonder if this complies? THe background behind the stars looks very nearly black rather than blue. THe tree branches in the lower left give the photo a nice 'Plumb" .
