technically, I would have framed it a bit to the left, and made the flag smaller. just to warn you, people haven't recieved flags very well here.
04/21/2002 05:11:00 PM
a bit out of focus...
04/21/2002 05:01:00 PM
Very Nice!
04/21/2002 02:19:00 PM
The picture is fine, but lacks connection with this particular challenge.
04/21/2002 01:45:00 AM
Nice framing. Subjct is a little out of focus.
04/20/2002 02:16:00 PM
A sentimental favorite always, but also a well executed picture. Wise not to clutter background; nice framing.
04/20/2002 12:24:00 PM
Original and great catch w/o trails
04/20/2002 09:00:00 AM
I like how you've framed this: the straight flag, while the pole is slightly angled. The sky is perfect in the background too.
04/20/2002 04:56:00 AM
I'm just too sentimental. This is beautiful.
04/19/2002 12:23:00 PM
Very over used!
04/19/2002 11:26:00 AM
Sheets to the Wind!
04/19/2002 10:14:00 AM
Very patriotic. Framed well. Better subjects out there for this topic though.
04/19/2002 09:16:00 AM
Very nice job freezing the motion, and good choice of time of day -- the colors are vibrant!
04/19/2002 07:24:00 AM
i like the cloudy backdrop and the play of shades on the flag.
04/18/2002 07:18:00 AM
Nice composition.
04/18/2002 06:01:00 AM
This is Beautifu!! An idea I had, but alas, no wind when I needed it. Maybe it could of been a little crisper? - just a thought.
04/18/2002 02:18:00 AM
Another one of those damn flag pictures, and its on a pole, and you can see the whole flag, don't know how many times I've had to look at this. I can think of a million other ways of taking a creative flag picture. 1 get one of those hot chicks to wear an american flag bikini, 2 have the flag in free flight, 3 put it in a shredder, 4 Use a different countries or use that skull and crossbones one, 5 put it in water, 6 burn it, 7 close up for graphical detail, 8 get so many flags in huge pile that you don't know what to do wtiht them and decide eh that'd make a good picture, 9 have somebody stab anthor person with the flag pole( I think that shot won a pulitzer) 10. Have someone run with it.
04/17/2002 04:57:00 PM
The fluttering is captured nicely
04/17/2002 04:49:00 PM
nice shot of our flag against a great sky
04/17/2002 03:38:00 PM
Neat picture although I'm not sure how well it conveys the topic of the challenge.
04/17/2002 10:22:00 AM
Nice shot. I like the contrast the flag makes against the sky.
04/16/2002 08:48:00 PM
A little blurring with motion ont he top corner and at the bottom, but overall a nice shot ...
04/16/2002 05:28:00 PM
Sharp photo! I like the angle of the flag pole. Much more interesting than parallel with the photo edge.
04/16/2002 04:53:00 PM
I pledge allegience..... Good job. Very appropriate for the times. You caght it in all of its glory against the sky.
04/16/2002 02:09:00 PM
got to give you 10 for this 'cos the punk will give you 1!
04/16/2002 12:57:00 PM
I give higher scores to flags and crosses. This is beautiful. It makes me want to stand up a sing the National Anthem.
04/16/2002 09:54:00 AM
Very good! Crisp details, good job! (and bold to take a flag pic... ;)
04/16/2002 08:50:00 AM
Technically very good, good focus, colors
04/16/2002 04:51:00 AM
i take a lot pictures of our flag, i guess since sept. it has been meaning a lot more to everyone
04/16/2002 02:54:00 AM
nice angle of the flag pole
04/15/2002 06:28:00 PM
Great Colors!
04/15/2002 06:14:00 PM
I also tried this and my did'nt come out as nicely as yours.
04/15/2002 01:15:00 PM
Boy am I glad I pulled my version of this. Even the poles are similar but the wind was blowing the other way in mine. Yours has motion blur on the top red stripe at the end.
04/15/2002 12:01:00 PM
I don't care what anyone says. I love shots of our flag, and this one is a great one!
04/15/2002 11:40:00 AM
OOh America! If I don't give it a TEN i'm a terrorist!
04/15/2002 11:34:00 AM
Hmmm... flags and crosses... flags and crosses.. I think I read how I was supposed to vote o this somewhere... lol.. anyway... Composition here is great. I need one of these on my wall at work. I am struggling with 'stopped motion' on this one. I'm not sure that it's the best subject for stopped motion. It is a good subject, but I'm begging for better. I love the photo, composition, and technical pieces, but I'm still begging for a better 'stopped motion' subject.
04/15/2002 10:02:00 AM
It's motion, but not much more.
04/15/2002 09:41:00 AM
heh what could be better than our flag? Great choice. I only see a little bit of blur here and there but good capture all the same:)
04/15/2002 09:32:00 AM
You're most likely gonna get blasted for the patriotic theme, but this is a good shot of a good flag
04/15/2002 09:30:00 AM
Doesn't this get the automatic '1' rating for being an american flag ? :) Good framing, nice and close. Also a nice clean background. Still a bit blurred due to motion though - a faster shutter speed might have helped.
04/15/2002 08:42:00 AM
this is a great picture, but a bit cliche. I like the ominous feeling of the clouds in the background rather than a blue sky, however.
04/15/2002 07:32:00 AM
enough political shots.. this country is the cause of all we get.
04/15/2002 05:36:00 AM
the colours are good, and it's very patriotic.
