Wow, I would think about putting this up as a stock photo. I can imagine journalists using this very effectively as it's a quite provocative illustration for both sides of the In God We Trust / One Nation Under God legal challenges that Michael Newdow will probably continue to make headlines with.

Well, there's your problem... You went and met the challenge in a subtle way some people appreciated. No brown, but congratulations anyhow on earning the tan.

Hey! Is that legal? :P How about putting the burn hole in place of George's mouth and I'd be impressed if you used a 20 instead ;)

I'm amazed you got so much of this guy with such great detail at f/3.5. I like the border in your other similar shot better as it just has less harsh contrast with the whole composition imho. Again, I really can't get over how sharp this guy is from his back to his legs with such shallow DOF. Nice job.

Wow that's colorful! Personally, I might have tried cropping out about the top fifth, but overall I like the composition and detail in this.

Ewww. I wonder what that is on the nose :P The DOF here is so shallow & so much is out of the focal plane that the oof parts are too overwhelming for me. I might have tried cropping in close. The in focus parts are very sharp with nice colors. The petals make some nice texture although, as I mentioned, I might have sacrificed that to bring the focused parts out more prominently. Just my opinion of course.

Nice. I like the texture and the floating feel of the petals created by the shallow DOF. There are just enough sharp subjects to let my eyes wander with somewhere to rest.
