My Country Tis of Thee...

The folds in the background are somewhat distracting, especially the one that is right behind the flag. Nice job.

I really like this idea and love where they light is positioned to illuminate the crease in the flag so well. I agree that the wrinkles are distracting...if you could move the flag further away from the background, the background may be more out of focus (depending on your aperature setting) and that may help eliminate the creases being so visible.

The only thing I don't like about this shot is the wrinkles on your backdrop.

I think this is a unique idea. I don't mind the wrinkles as much as others have, but the shadow is what gets me. It almost looks like an accident, which is probably because the background is black. I wish the shadow was either more obvious, or not there at all. I probably would lean to the more obvious in this case, since it would help us get a feeling for a single light source to go along with the challenge. Good job on this one.
