I took this picture of the flags at my office on a dark night. They were whipping a snapping in the wind so hard I noticed them and decided to take a few pictures.

Not really interresting for me.

Nice idea, the blurriness here makes this more of an abstract type of shot.

This has a nice abstract quality and even the noise adds to it appeal. I know flags (especially US) are very taboo here, but I like this one purely on its artistic merit.

A different take on the obvious; however, it is too distorted in my opinion. 4.

lots of noise on the picture

I like the color in this flag photograph, the motion blur from wind. I would like to see one area in focus, the stars. Perhaps try for a little deeper dof. I know, easier said than done on a flapping flag at night. Experiment on shutter speed and apeture settings, within the limits of your camera. I get a lot of shots like this using my digital camera in auto. Have to go into manual mode to stop some of the motion in very low light, moving subject, situations. Good luck!

This is better than the other flag shots, but it's too noisy. That needs to be cleaned up, and also i'd bump up contrast just a bit.

Lack of originality IMHO.
