well, there was only about half a day until this challenge ends and less than 40 entries so I figured I'd give it a shot. all I had was spaghetti and these tiny pasta stars my daughter begged me to buy a couple weeks ago so I was thinking "what can I do with these?"..First I thought I could put the stars on the tip of the spaghetti like flowers but the scale was all off. The stars were too small or the spaghetti was too think. either way, didn't look right. so then I thought of the flag. I painted the spaghetti and then cut it all to length, laid it out and added pasta stars with tweezers. Not really complicated, but time consuming. I'm hoping it does well. I dig it.

Very creative, I appreciate the tedious prep for the photo. Only complaint is the background is almost identical to the subtle monitor gray that is on the DPC page.
I'm not a flag waver, but this is marvelous. Technically it's soft along the right edge and especially above the blue. I think if the whole thing were a bit more sharp you could sell this as a poster.
Great shot that gets a good score from me, but please, please please give the voter some credit to think that you would have used pasta to create the shot. Stars and Stripes would have been a great title
