hmmm.... How to vote this? I think it is a good idea, but it has some fundamental flaws for me. It obviously appeals to our patriotism (For those of us who are Americans) and it is certainly makes a statement. It seems to be a little lacking in originality and technically the photo has some issues (overexposure, lighting). I like the idea behind the photo. Change some things and fix the technical issues and this could be really moving, but as it is, I give it a 5.
I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

Very nice everyday life, candid-type shot. Your background is just a hair distracting with the split light and dark. I do like the depth you created with the shadows on her face. Nice

I think this picture is fine technically! its very sharp while still having a nice softness to her skin. I think a little bit more brightness and a hint of contrast would do the trick
