EosD said:interesting imagery, dont know how it would pan out in the competition though TBH, its certainly a departure from the night scenes that everyone else seems to have settled with.
If it were my image i would have had the words swapped, so freedom is in print and terrorism is in blood, and i might have tweaked the flag so it wasnt straight.
Some people might think its saying too much, equally though many people might get what you mean also.
whats the effect you have used on the picture?

EosD said:i didnt see your reply to steve while i was doing mine, the image fits your idea perfectly, you have to hope that the judges get your meaning straight away!
Send them a link to the forums, i cant post one on OC, i will get banned, lol

No I think this way round works well, terrorism demand notes taken from the type of a paper and the symbolism of freedom coming at the cost of bloodshed.
Very effective as an image but as a photograph.....???
EosD said:it IS a very good image, though as you say, its clear to you, and once explained its very easy to see what you were doing, but its that moment when the judges look at the image, will they get it?
I thought a nice new modern light up globe would be good, but going by the complete lack of comments from anyone i doubt it will do that well..

And, IMHO, much more effective and strong.
EosD said:that be the blood of the innocent? cool idea if it is!
Should be very interesting, Steves on his hols now, so you will have to settle for whoever dribbles in today.
My personal opinion is the second picture has better impact, this one requires thought but it is good nonetheless. I wonder what the judges would think? 2 of them are new to it, so it will be interesting!
Personally i'm happy with my shot, its not a massive in your face shot, but its not too bad!
EosD said:yes technically it is much stronger, though your thumb is distracting!
*edit*
second one, super!!!
