The current pic on Captain Patriotic is okay, but his shield is..really not his shield at all, and the flag's a little overwhelmed by Cap. As a replacement, I was thinking either this or this. Thoughts?

[up]I like the first one. The second one looks too Ax-Crazy to be patriotic.

Number 1 works. 2 is a bit too busy and looks Ax-Crazy like mentioned.

1.1 looks good. How much should be cropped off at the bottom? Here's the pic in full.

[up] I had considered that as an option before making the thread, but I like the idea of Cap being with the troops as opposed to the mythic feel of that pic. As for the crop of [up][up], it doesn't make a difference to me whether the other soldiers are there or not.

[up] *snerk* Okay, lemme rephrase - I like him being on the same level as everyone else as opposed to the inspirational image-type role that pic suggests. tongue

I'll throw in a vote for #6 for the reasons mentioned.

Slightly off-topic: I'm glad to know that, going by the current image, Captain America knows how to use the pinball bumpers from Sonic the Hedgehog games as shields.

Here's the current with the correct shield. I don't know what's up with that.

Kind of ominous looking. I like 6 better. 7 is already in use on Captain America.

I like 6 more than 7 because in one it looks like he is supporting soldiers, and in the other it looks like he is supporting war.

Just for shits and giggle because I want to suggest someone who isn't Captain America

(Yes I'm Canadian :-P Though I'd suggest as a caption "Were you expecting someone else as the page image")

That's a good idea, but I like having a flag in frame, too. Here's another Guardian ([1]), and also a few Captain Canucks ([2] [3] [4] [5]).

I'm not really keen on the Captain Canuck pics, mainly because there's so little that makes the leaf imagery stand out. As another option, here's one of Captain Britain.

I like Captain Britain. IT's nice and not the most obvious example.

19 is my new favourite now.

I'd go for 19. The fact that I'm British might have something to do with it.

19 is good, using the caption from 17
