What all of the 18 America haters don't understand is this picture fits the challenge perfectly since Patriotism IS a trend in America. Too bad their dislike of our GREAT country causes them to vote "unfairly". Look at it, 18??? The website should have disregarded all of their votes since they are obviously biased and are way "out of line" give the bell curve shown.

To all the 1 voters, was it that you hate the U.S. flag/patriotism or was the photo that bad? Just wondering!

Isn't that just another picture of an american flag 'crowbarred' into this category.

I loved the lighting on this one and the fact that you didn't try to include the entire flag. Very nice use of background also. Great job.

An american flag in photographs from americans is very predictable and rather boring. There are other countries.

I don't think the strong sun does this any justice.

The sun shining through the flag is a nice touch that keeps this from being just another flag photo.

sorry......you're not going to get my sympathy vote for stirring old emotions.......

An OK shot. Is the sun rising? I hope so, it would fit the subject better than if it was setting! (I'm assuming by the colors that it is rising.) Composition is OK, if a little tight feeling. I'd like the flag in the more traditional format (i.e. if you flipped the image horizontally).

I think the flag is supposed to face the other way - you might want to flip the image before you try to sell it.

That pic could be from any time between when they first got color images until now.
so i reckon its timeless and therefore trendless
a man can take only so much of those american flags

Good idea, but the sky seems a little to bright.
