This stirs the patriotism in me!
Do you know what this photo says to me? America....only in America can you find the flag flown high in a backyard, on every home, every business. We are a proud , undefeated, ass-kickin' people.
This photo captures that spirit, us "regular folk" that puts up our flag and fights hard in every generation for our freedom.
I love you photo!!!!

I like the subject matter. The shadows and low light gives it a feel of somberness, but I wish it hadn't been cropped so short. I would have liked to have the whole tree.

at first I was about to pass this one off. however, i took a breath and took it in for a while and decided to salute! this is a truly American photo. I think I reviewed a different one of you pieces and thought the same thing. you have a knack for capturing something that is truly American and by deduction it must be because you are a real American. As a Democrat who was in no way anti-war and is currently fed up with the "pansification" of America from the entertainment Industry... well.. anyways I like it. good shot!

This piece needs something, maybe a little more light in the picture to really bring out the flag. It seems a little fuzzy too, maybe something to do with upload.

This was an interesting shot. Simple, but still good. I liked the tree itself and how you captured the flag in front of it. While this was a nice shot, I think it could be better. It just doesn't suggest or demonstrate a patriotic 'feel' that should be felt in a photo like this, of own nations flag. I also think this should would have been better done a bit closer, still enough to include the upper-portions of the tree, but centering it more on the flag itself. Still a good shot...just my thoughts.

LowRider, while I do think this a good photograph, and technically better than that, in my opinion, it's without much impact and really not full of imagination or creativity. But, then, that's only one opinion. I see others are more enthusiastic.
Peace, Papa

    Papa, I do find your ratings quite unfair the majority of the time

Talk about striking image! This touched the heart and reminds us all where our troops are. To remember to say a prayer to keep and protect them. LowRider fantastic.

Another great photo. Very interesting looking tree. The flag against the tree is very dramatic. Great piece. Your notes add a nice touch to the photo.
