Comment by Kimbly:
Neat with the flag included, and the words (Vietman veterans' memorial?). The problem is, though, that without the reflection, flag, and words, the picture would be sort of blah. The actual image in the reflection doesn't seem to really stand up to the frame. Obviously, you can't ask Vietman veterans to move on Memorial day, but still...OK, I think my comment is what you were referring to in the forums, so I'm going to try to explain it a little better. What I mean is that you've really got a great frame going here, with the words, reflection, flag, etc. It's really a very nice idea. But the actual subject of the photo, the people, are kind of cluttered and just really not that interesting, and they don't seem to be very expressive of Vietnam or memorializing. Without your frame, it could be just a snapshot at a family barbecue or something. While I understand that your control is very very limited in these types of situations and I can't comment on what other opportunities you might have had, this picture just struck me as being very nicely framed, with a not-so-interesting subject.
