WOW way to mucy USM. The photo in my opinion is way to blurry or OoF but if the photo had more clarity would have made for an excellent shot. Good luck in this challenge.

The building seems to be out of focus to me, also the colors appear to be over-saturated in my opinion.

Comment by Matthew:
technically very good use of desat - normally a turn off for me when this bold, but this is better than most. Maybe losing a little too much detail in the top of frame.

Without wishing to offend, the patriotic call implicit in the flag may switch off some non-US voters - very slightly cheapens the image for me as it feels as though the symbol is being used to evoke an emotive response that the picture would not otherwise demand.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

I was going to do something like this. Good work at desaturation.

The desaturation is effective, but having the flag in the center of the composition makes it a bit static. Perhaps more negative space at the top an on teh right
