Originality: abstracting star/stripe ides of Independence Day without the cliche colors
Composition: excellent balance of light and dark, shapes and negative space, near symmetry with interesting variation
Narrative: allows viewer's imagination to play with what you present
Highest score in the challenge on my scale. Sorry to see my red bar at the upper end lacking appropriate company.

This is a good example of why voting doesn't work. Bottom three? I had this as top three and I prefer it to at least two of the three ribbon winners. To each their own I guess.
