Well taste comes into question here, for me that would be the main focus of discussion. The beauty about this nation is the ability to speak your mind. Photography is one the those mediums that directly allows for that, as well as photoshop. I say no problem with this powerful cover photo, it speaks for the author and his belief. Regardless if it stings, I would trust we still accept that freedom in this country. Thanks for the site Ken. Take care, Gregory david Stempel FIREFRAMEi m a g i n g
