    Re: Stars and Stripes

    I like the color and saturation of the flag and the unusual shape of it. But as much as I do like the background (nice blues, etc), I'm not sure it works here..... But the contrast and saturation is still pretty neat.

    Re: Stars and Stripes

    I'm in agreement with GB1 on this...while I really like the colors and such, the background almost seems like it's competing with the flag. I also wish there was a tiny bit more room on the right side.
    The shape of the flag is great though.

    Re: Stars and Stripes

    Hey, Xsport - good to see that you have been working at this concept. I seem to remember another one like this (Proud, was it?).

    I understand the message that you are trying to convey. But I think you need to keep looking for other backgrounds. I congratulate you for not using the standard, cliché backgrounds.

    Keep looking and keep shooting!

    What's a Loupe for anyway?
