this is actually very good. the triptych works well and i like the idea of the red, white, blue theme (as opposed to the flag of USA). smart! love the editing too, it's wonderful!

I love their bar-code flag. And in TEXAs none-the-less â€Â¦ I'm surprise they didn't get jailed - then again i remember Austin being pretty progressive when I was there. I wonder if the givers of "1's" are from Dallas.

I'm shocked........ How the heck does this photo get a 1 let alone 5 of them.. I was one of your 10's & thought this was awesome !!

5 1's????? Those guys need rocks thrown at them! This is amazing! The 13 10's is much more fitting!

This is so creative and INCREDIBLE!!!

ugly but effective

Captivating shot. To me, it seems to mocks the often phony nature of politics.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/01/2007 10:46:27 PM
Nice PP and framing - Works well as a set but I find the subject a little disturbing!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

scarrily original....

might be compositionally better if the last panel had the guy looking to the right.

This is so perfect for all the bombardment of the elections that is already getting started. Great color "tie" in also. (no need to thank me for the unbelievable lame pun)

OK, bear with me on this one.

As I am voting, I am giving most images about 5 secs of my time then move onto the next (as long as I am not typing a comment).. Then I get to this one. I almost hit 6. then pause.

and look again

and study it.

Its a bizarre series of shots. its funny, its disturbing, its just so darn good.. RARELY do I stop on a photo to study it for any length of time, but this one just makes me want to look at it.

and look at it some more.

Kudos to your model. he has nailed some real great poses. You can alsmot hear some politician spouting his rhetoric.

I truely hope this does well, to think I was going to give this a 6 and no comment..

10. all the way. I love it. adding to faves. (and a nice long comment to boot! we all like getting comments during the voting period dont we). I really really hope this makes the frontpage. feel free to PM me as I would love to know who shot this.

As an American, this is slightly unsettling. I think I understand your perspective, though (and I can't say that I don't agree with you). I also think you did an excellent job conveying your idea.

This is really original. Damn good job. 10

The subject matter is so different from anything I've seen on DPC before, I'm just not sure how to comment. I'll just say excellent job on the technicals!

This is my favorite in the challenge. I have no idea what it is all about really but it seems important and the editing choice of red/white/blue is fantastic for it. I expect this to ribbon.

Really, really nice work! I would have cloned out the wire though. It is a little distracting. Otherwise well done! 9
