A big big flag. What can I say, I'm a pointer and shooter. I took this in action mode to capture the flaps and folds of the flag as it blew in the wind. I used a polarized cap to add saturation. I cropped, adjusted the usual. levels, saturation, brightness/contrast, burned the clouds a bit and then hit the usm and saved for web after resizing. I went through wind I and the flag shots did poorly.... What am I thinking???? I'm thinking this one's better....

Crisp, clear, maybe a smidgen overexposed on the flagpole. The flag is well focused and vivid. Polarizer? May have added a little more pop to the sky, although it's pretty good as is. One of the better flag entries I've seen so far. Good luck in the challenge.

Lots of flag pictures, but this is one of the best I've seen yet. It has such clear colors with a perfect sky background.
