Originally I was like "Not responding to the challenge, shoehorned, barely blue barely orange, 3" in my mind but after voting on all the images I realize how refreshing it is to see not-in-your-face color in this challenge, and it's a gorgeous image in its framing and processing. Bumping to 10 :-)

Great image. I really like the symmetry. Probably would look great as a B&W as well. Not as strong on the challenge topic as others.

Headwinds

Comment by posthumous:
I like the title. A headwind makes it harder to progress. The motion of the photo is even more destructive, like an earthquake. It feels like the myth of patriotism is revealing itself to be nothing but a ghost. The flags are burning, have burned, are smoke now. The citizens are turning into the stripes, and the stars are scattered on the grass.
