This would be perfect if it was a little less grainy, but nice shot

Very interesting image definately fits the challenge well. You may want to crop in tighter on it. The one thing I do notice about it is it seems to be soft in spots but as I look closer I realize the yellow seem to be washed out slightly on the folds and it has given it that soft appearance.

Very good and creative idea.

If I were to shoot this subject, I would try to move over to the left to get a better profile of it, and use an aperture that makes the background out of focus, but that's just me. Here's an instance where I think the "no spot retouching" rule is idiotic. I believe that we should be able to correct things like that one pixel in the upper-right corner on the tree that is obviously not the correct color.

Yes this country was based on Jeudo-Christians ideas. Great interpretation.

I think this could benefit from a closer crop on the bottom. Not very clear

This has a nice composition to it. The words could be a little sharper though.
