Extra point for message and creativity. Not as well-executed as it could have been. Your white peg is not clearly defined - maybe a colored map, different map angle and/or more DOF would have helped.
Interesting subject, don't really see the relevance of the pins locations though. I assume you are referring to conflict zones but you have one located on what would be Spain / Portugal border.
GREAT concept. But the map doesn't work; it's too sketchy and blurred. And the light is too blown out, making the glare from the white background drown out the color of the pins. I think you missed an opportunity by placing the pin on our global "hot spots".
