[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I want to thank all of you for helping me with Aston's portrait. Wow, I learned a lot.

This is what I thought was a unique POV flag photo. I liked how the flag was folded in the wind creating a checkered pattern.

Warm layer then erased some around the flag to provide a bit of illumination. The reason I left the warm layer is that I felt it created a bit of an ominous look. The light around the flag gives an impression of hope in the midst of the surrounding difficulties. Of course, this is just my opinion.

It's Friday!!!

Hi Dennis,

This is an interesting POV on the flag, I don't think I've seen it done this way before. Horia has made a good recommendation, a CP (Circular Polarizer) can do wonders with the sky. It's one of the first extras I bought for my camera and costs about $60.

Your shutter speed froze the motion well.

Best regards,
Werner

Hello Dennis,
Again a nice experiment and beautiful execution.
Go on creative works, please
