Interesting composition. I think you need more focus though and the lighting could be better (IHMO bottom left stars need more light)!

Do you think it might be better to straighten the picture in relation to the grass? They look very full of life!

Nice composition. The rich bold colors make the image of the flag pop out. A lot of color also makes it busy. Putting a white frame may make the image pop out even more. Great subject.

Good colors, good expression and nice focus. Best of all the light is done very well. I think if you'd of cropped the bottom out and just left the faces this would have more of an impact. Nice work.

More of a patriotic theme than a freedom theme to the photo. I think the contrasts could be enhanced a little

I highly disagree, and I think you forgot one key rule when choosing your subject matter, audience. By choosing the american flag you automatically narrow your target audience, as many people do not view the american flag as a symbol of freedom! On the other hand this photo is techniqually (bad spelling, I know) very strong, and depsite my obvious difference to the content, I do like your composition! 7

Nice shot. The white is a little blown out, but nice focus and "concentration" on the subject. You should have tilted it to the right about 5 degrees. This would make the ppl in the background upright and give the subject the appearance of runner forward a little more.
