You realise of course Dane, that most Americans have never seen a map, much less know what New Zealand looks like ;) j/k.... or not.
Nice idea for a challenge like this one. Still might be worthwhile re-shooting with stock photo usage in mind. Try replacing the white background with blue. That way, if there are any creases/shadows, they'll just represent ocean waves. I would suggest changing the colour of the tacks to red and white for the country outline (making a connection to the flag with red/white against blue) and maybe black for the letters NZ?
p.s. If you ever realise you've made a title typo after a challenge has already started, just contact SC and ask them to change it for you. They're a pretty cool bunch and usually quick off the mark :)
A very clever concept and an artistic success. Unfortunately, from an technical standpoint, it doesn't quite make the grade. A lot more sharper and crisp image would have helped this a lot. As it stands, it just misses being rated a 8 and possibly a nine. A little more thought while framing and focusing, perhaps even revisiting the image after processing would have been a better choice. A solid entry into the challenge.
