Very nice photograph. Good angle. There are two points of interest. First the flag, because imaginary guiding lines point to it (e.g. the skyscrapers on the left and especially on the right). Second, the statue with the interesting gesture. Some could say that's not simple enough and you should have concentrated on one object, but I like it. With some phantasy one can interpret the flag as a symbol for capitalism.
The sun flare is a little distracting but actually I think the writing behind the statue is more distracting. It would be so nice without it, but I guess they would have thrown you in jail when you would have tried to remove it ;-)
I guess the writing was colored, so you decided to make the photo black and white. That was a good decision.

I like this picture a lot. The perspective is really cool. Makes me feel dizzy only by looking at it...:o) Daniellita

Interesting picture I like the angle, but it seems a little too light.

Whoa! I've fallen...I'm at the bottom. I'm looking up. Wait a minute. Capitolism is looking down down on me. I'm looking "Under Capitolism" Anyway an effective shot of vertigo.

A good idea, but the glare is detracting.

It took me a while to get the irony here: "A Slave Ship Speaks" on display in Federal Hall, a former Treasury across from the NYSE. I like this better on reflection.

Nice content with the history, flag, and skyscrapers....interesting angle, but too little contrast for my taste.

What does Albert Einstein have to do with corporations?

I love the lighting in this picture; monochrome hits the spot and the flag is just perfect. No comments about content, it's a well created scene, great picture…

Good subject and choice of angle. I think Id have adjusted the curves a little to make the stonework a little darker.

i like the light streaking in well done

I think this composition is great, and I like the tonal range. Nice.

Wierd angle. I don't like the glare on the right side of the pic, and since I can't really tell who that is, I don't know why he'd be watching over capitalism.

Nice shot. Good foucs. Kind of bright, but you probably wanted that.
