Yeah, these guts have it pretty rough at times upholding law and order. Bumping to 7

Insert donut and I'd see some authority here. Does the shape of his head suggest years of enjoying donuts? Authority = donuts? Plump faced cops just don't give me much citizen comfort. I do like the inclusion of the U.S. flag, supurb depth of field. I think the lighting is rather flat for a male "authority" figure. I also like the fact the subject is looking directly into the lens.

his expression looks like he means business. focus and lighting are fine. i think a stronger title, like "Do You Really Want to Question Me?" might have helped. if you look at this long enough, you really do start to feel that the image has captured the essence of authority; i just hope that the voters will stop long enough to look. good luck.

I don't doubt for a second this guy is a cop.

I like this. This symbolizes authority while leaving a lot of questions. Is this a just or unjust authority figure? Nice mix of textures and densities.

I'd not have cropped the top of his head and the left of the flag. The picture might use some more colour, too.
You might have made the officer show his mark, kinda like in the movies. "LAPD Ma'am, we need to have a look into your trunk."

The top of the head is cut off just a little bit; would have also preferred to not have the flag cut off.

Pretty good portrait. I like the desaturated tone, but the crop on the top doesn't seem to be quite in the right place.
