| Good social commentary; very accurate propaganda! Perhaps it should be titled: Stop Free Speech in America (as a propaganda piece), or "No Free Speech in America", as a propaganda/commentary. |

| Although visually it could be a bit more interesting, this is perfectly suitable as an editorial in a newspaper - good thing you\'re one of the few this week who use your image alone as your 1000 words (i.e. not relying on your title to send your message). |

| Yes. I hope you had some vaseline under that duct tape. I like your use of an angled crop to give this more interest. 7 |

| I might not have cropped so tight, and would like to have a little sharper focus. |

| 1002 uses for duct tape. It does seem that the rest of the world is tired of hearing us defend our freedom. Good interpretation of the challenge topic. 6 -danny |

| But possibly better than anywhere else. Maybe the Moon? Like it very Propagandistic. |

This is a really nice shot. I love that you ised duct tape since all the hoopla about buying to tape up your windows and such. I had a friend that went broke buying the stuff & didnt even know what to do with it. The message is strong here and so relevent to what is going on and considered patriotic these days. I like the composition as well.

| I'm sure a few people won't like the politics of this photo and vote you down for it, but that's not what voting is about. A strong statement makes great propaganda! And you've done a good job of showing it. Only things I would have liked was to not have had the chin cut off. Also I think a portrait might have been more effective. 8 |

| Yeah keep your mouth shut until you know what you are old enough to know what you are talking about. :) |

Now this is a strong propaganda message - one that can easily be understood without supporting text or effort. I won't comment on whether I agree or disagree with the suggestion that the current political climate in the US discourages free speech and dissention but I will say that I think the photo conveys that suggestion very well.
Lighting is not ideal with dark shadows at left. Model's nose could have done with a powder to reduce that shine. |

| This is an excellent example of propaganda - there will be objections to the hot spot on the duck tape but it is a minimal problem. Fits the challenge, good focus, composition, original, perhaps a little too dark on the left |

| Effective comment on "Questioning policy = Disloyalty" theme. You met the challenge better than most. |

| Where can I get some America Print Duct Tape? You should make bumper stickers out of this photo. |

| Awesome concept for this challenge. Love the photo, nicely done. Would love to see this with all colour removed except for the color in the flag, would be especially effective, but hard to do with the challenge rules! Top shot anyways! 8 |
