One of my tens this challenge... I hate this didn't score higher. nice work :)

I think your title led people away from your 'idea' with this photo. I would have never come to your idea without reading your post here.

My shot was representing, to me, that the militaristic voice of freedom should be restrained. I was not condoning freedom at the cost of human life. I am not at all in favor of war as a solution to the difficulties life presents, surely IMO there are more civilized ways to solve problems. Thanks to those of you who commented, sorry for the confusion, though I am glad my shot made folks think some : ).

BTW it was NOT shot in sepia, this is straight out of camera with slight crop. Was a rainy day and this was the colors camera picked up.

looks like the 9 o'clock gun. :) I like this perspective, it reminds of me what the view must be like when embroiled in a battle.

I'm struggling to work out your interpretation here. This is good - your photo is making me stop and think. Ignoring the title I can start creating my own interpretations. A good shot too - well composed and focused.

The part of the cage closest to the camera is VERY distractiong to the overall effect. Love the use of the sepia here.

I like this photo. It's different, strange and intriguing. I do think it's dark..the trees. I see the heavy cloud cover and understand. Nice shot.

Comment by moodville:
I find the message (or at least the one I envision I see) to be kinda interesting. Here we have a picture representing freedom and it's in a cage! Of course the 'voice' also seems to be a weapon, which I also find curious. This photograph makes some quite bold statements. That said, I do like the sepia tones, and although it may lack any 'wow' factor, I think the message is what stands out from this photograph rather than being visually 'pretty'.
