If the photo you see appears to be upside down, do not try adjusting your monitor or stand on your head. What you see is real and you have just entered the twilight zone of politics.

Very interesting. The flag on the floor makes unusual connotations. Quite provocative. Well done.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

The flag on the floor is just a strong symbol of this great nation of the U.S.A. trying to be on firm ground for education and also the education to learn the greatest respected book on the planet. It goes back to the beginning of time, not just Christianity, but all other respects of other religions. Why should someone have the right to learn about the Holy Bible be locked? It draws a frustration from a student who wants to round him or herself better by being educated on what THEY want to learn, NOT what politics keeps away from them. Politics, is it always correct?
FREEDOM TO CHOOSE, ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
I think this photo needs to be turned right side up and that chain needs to be unlocked, until then this is what Politics has done.

Wow ! Now you have explained it I see your point but I must say I was a bit confused at first. A lot of things in such a (small) picture. I find the orientation doesn't help "reading" too but that was your purpose.
Interesting image !

We all see a vision when we put things together and some may not read well into that photo. An example of the HOPE photo and the empty suit and just looking at the photo, some people might not get it at first. When it is explained, then we see it clearer.
Looking at one photo could be seen different by someone else.
That is what makes all this a form of art, is that we see something different or the same in a meaning.
I love this country and we should not be held back by the right to have religion in the schools and let the student choose because it might just open a very positive door for many that need it. We need to crack down more on the negative of what can harm and look more into what can help. Protect our amendments, but do so for a protection of all the people and don't let that amendment run wild like a chicken with it's head cut off because our blood with squirt everywhere. Like I said, Politics and Government are not always correct. It is Politics that seems to play God at times. War's are caused by human beings playing God because they think they know what the right thing to do is, we get killed, they kill theirs, they kill ours, we kill theirs and it goes on forever and where does it get human kind? Who can drop the bigger bomb, is that the answer God would give?
Many have died for that flag, the red, white and blue and if many have died for it, then give a student a chance if they want to learn more about creation and why. Let their wings expand and let them fly where they may.

"'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it standsNE NATION UNDER GOD, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all"'

Pledge of Allegiance

I might add also for the replies and others is that another reason I set the photo upside down, is so that the person looking at it might study it more so and get it's meaning clearer. I put it that way for a few reasons. It is all in the composition that I myself see the word "Politics" and this came to my mind.

Thank you and best wishes to all,

My question - would you (or others) feel the same if it was a DIFFERENT holy book? Does this "right" apply to all beliefs, or only a certain one? There are many places one could go with this photo...or a series.
