Unless you're hinting at the lines in the flag, this seems to miss the mark by a bit too much.

Nice sentiment but I don't see the challenge here.

I understand artistic interpretation and like to "vote up" stuff that might seem to not fit the challenge but where are the parallel lines in this composition? The lines on the flag? If so then they are a very small piece of this and the submission suffers for it. I like the use of negative space but if the flag lines are supposed to be your parallels then they don't seem to create the strength of the whole photo, they seem an afterthought. It is a fairly good photo although I'd move the subject out from the background as a shadow is visible behind and below the stars as well as the eagle. Perhaps trying this without the starfall item attached to the heart-shaped piece would render a strong result.

I voted this low and here are my reasons:

Bad points:

The strength of the photo is the leading lines of the stars to the heart shaped jewelry. These are not parallel, they are an array.

The subject is rather uninteresting. I can see you may be practicing jewelry photography, in which case the background should be brighter, maybe white, and the subject should be spotlighted IMO.

Good Points:

Patriotism +1
The lighting is even.
Sharpness and clarity are good.
