I was trying to salvage some snapshots of the Obama rally in Denver, hit the black and white and saw what to me was some intense symbolism, some good some evil. No one else may see this, but if one does, it's worth it. Should score really bad :]

the big banner showing "obama" might brush McCain's supporters off?
no impact on me, no worries - not American, nor lives in the US.

on the photo itself, i feel that it looks a bit flat.
personally i would adjust the curves, or at least the contrast to make things less flat.

Excellent photograph...love the sense of scale, the mass of the crowd, the clear definition of what the rally is and the star at the podium! 10

Very powerful shot regardless of one's political leanings. No idea how you isolated the one guy (red hoodie, perhaps?) but that, with the angle, the masses, and the glint off something in the front, provides a very interesting shot.

Excellent composition with all the elements in place to give significance to the question mark at the end of your chosen title.
I gave an 8 for this.

This is a great photo, very controversial and to the point. Loved it.

I like how the person in white clothing stands out in the scene. He may be just a bit overexposed for the scene. The Obama sign leaning in countered by the tree on the right frame the shot nicely. Good image.
