Great subject. I like the composition and the lighting. The focus is good as the main subject (pin) is what is being focused on but I am finding the bit in the upper left hand of the image a bit distracting because of the shallow DOF, still that's just me. I'm not sure if the way the photo is set up really speaks to the quote (as in I probably wouldn't make the connection based on what I'm looking at) but I think its IS a great image. The title definitely gives a bit more strength and history to the photo. Nicely done. I gave a 5.

Oh this is great (not politically, but that's another discussion entirely). I like the image.
