An excellent shot with the flag well framed by the memorial. The colors are beautiful and the details are exquisitely shown.

Great presentation of our flag. I feel that the ceiling beams and the spacing ads a little extra dimension to the shot. Nice composition, framing and DOF.

Excellent entry for the flags contest and yes a photo that brings out lots of emotions for all of us. Really like how the flag is framed by the structure of the memorial and you shot this with a good angle to capture it against that beautiful blue sky with white puffy clouds. Nice work and good luck in the contest.

This is indeed a great entry for the contest, and I can see that this is not just a snap shot. It was well thought out to get the Flag placed exactly between the gap in the ceiling. You were blessed with a lovely sky as well, and the Flag is standing out from it in the most excellent way.

Your photo is nice and sharp showing really clear and well defined details in the American flag, and the exposure is just perfect. Crisp and clear colors as well.

The photo is nicely cropped and I think the flag has got a very fine placement within the frame. I think this is a really well taken photo, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Well done! Your focus, framing, and lighting are all very good. I love the angle of this photo. Looking up through the skylight of the building is so unique and different. You did a wonderful job :) Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work :)

Good Morning Ruth

Very nice composition and strong beautiful colors. I like your original thought on this image and I am impressed with the rich colors displayed on the flag.

The background is different and does an excellent job of supporting and presenting your subject.

Good story image.

Roger
