I really liked this picture and its symbolism. Congrats on your top 20 finish, however, I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't finish higher. :-)

NICE TOUCH! I'm here voting on the 4th of July and here we have a modern Betdy Ross. DANGIT! You just got a big bump over everybody else.

Great composition and beautiful colours in this shot. It appears that the flag is the subject being focussed on though, rather than the sewing machine which may lead the viewer to the wrong interpretation (I'm presuming it's the sewing machine that is obsolete, and not the flag!)

Love the texture of the flag and the whole composition is really good...

Hmmmm. I love the picture. I love the bright colors. My only suggestion for improving this shot to my liking would be eliminating the soft focus on the main subject. I think too much attention is being pulled from the "obsolete" subject and drawn into the bright colors of the flag. The picture as a stand-alone shot (without the challenge theme) is much better just as you have it. 9

Nice use of symbols to carry out your concept of "obsolete". Photo looks a bit out of focus on the machine. Given the symbolism of Singer I am not sure that adds to the shot. Overall, though, I gave you high marks.

I wanted to give more points but was not sure what is obsoletel in this picture.

Your focus is nice and crisp on the flag, but gets fuzzy on the tension dial. I would have like to see the entire image crisp. It's a wonderful concept.

The flag and the vintage sewing machine make for a nice picture. It is well done. In this challenge however with obsolete being the subject matter, I would think putting the focus on the sewing machine to be more appropriate. Surly, the American flag is not obsolete. Putting the challege aside, though, I really like this picture. Singer being American made makes for a very patriotic theme as we are approaching July 4th. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice detail. Like to see into the shadow detail a little more.

I've got one of those.

Reminds me of a sewing machine my grandmother used to use.
