Good dof, colors and detail. That one long torn piece makes the shot for me.

Great idea, well weathered! The noise in this image, for me, really doesn't work though. Would have liked it more were it clean and crisp.

"State of the Union"??? Let's see...you have a digital camera...time to look over DPC challenges....time to find a torn up flag....time to upload to DPC...ON A COMPUTER with AN INTERNET CONNECTION.....

...and your photo protrays the "State of the Union" as being "torn", "worn", or "tattered".... obviously the "State" is being good to you !

...don't make me laugh !

I like everything about the picture except the fact that the flag is desicrated being torn so it needs to be destroyed. But I am in the military so don't pay any attention to me lol. I love the image very well done.

The saturation in this seems a bit high to me.
