This needs help with focusing. The upper left, lower right and upper right corners could have been cropped out as the background that pokes through is distracting.

Great idea...extra points for originality. More contrast might have helped.

Comment by banmorn:
the colors are very good in this and there are some nice texture constrasts...but what is your subject, 40, painted numbers, well what is it on....The blue appears to be a tarp of some sort...I think it might have been better pulling back so the '40' was not chooped off and leave some more room at the bottom. Interesting patriotic color scheme but not much else going for it for me.

Good color combination with the red, white, and blue, and an interesting blend of textures between the tarp and whatever material the red is (looks kinda like metal). The subject doesnt really do much for me, though, sorry.

I think I would have liked this picture better if it was taken horizontally as opposed to vertically. It would also be nice to have their entire shoes in the picture.
