Thanks for directing me here. You certainly have an interesting rationale for submitting your photo. I really like the point of view here, you have undoubtedly portrayed your reverence for the flag - additionally the stark contrast between the bright pole and the deep blue sky makes the image seem almost regal. As for the distracting lights, I see where you are coming from with them. If they do, in fact, serve to represent the two sides of the political equation, unfortunately I feel that the title loses something - the flag is clearly to the right, - this would indicate an almost unanimous political result, with little to no turbulence as you say. Now while the election result was relatively clear cut, there remains (From my outsiders perspective) great deal of idealogical division amongst the population...nitpicking I know, but I might as well be thorough.

As for the aesthetics of the image, personally I feel that if you managed to clone out the lights you would be left with an extremely striking, minimalist image, that better conveyed your reverence and pride. Also, I would attempt to crop out some of the space at the top and side to make the angle of the pole appear more pronounced.

Anyway, hope this has been somewhat constructive.

Cheers

Anders

Wonderful show of movement! As for composition, I think this photo would have worked infintely better if it was zooomed/cropped in tighter to the flag.

A dramatic use of shape and colour. I'd lke to have seen just a bit of blur in the flag but now I'm being fussy.

well taken, it's good to see a flag taken from a slightly different angle

I, too, wish this would have finished higher. Great work and an excellent capture for the challenge!
