    Petty John's II

    It's been awhile since I posted one for critique. Critique away, Thanks.

    Like it, though I think I would definitely tone down the flag intensity so that it doesn't so overwhelm all the other nice elements in the photo.

    Thanks GB I'll see what I can do. Maybe use the exposure brush in Lightroom.

    Awesome shot! Not sure if I agree with Greg, but I wouldn't mind seeing the outcome.

    Greg,

    This is an awesome shot. Love the lighting in this picture and the long exposure! There's something about those lights casting a shadow and radiance on the ground that really speaks to me.

    I also love how you captured the stars in the sky as a foil to the the stars on the flag.

    My only critique and it's a minor one at that is the trailers/trucks in the mid-background. Slightly distracting to me. But very minor.

    Respectfully,

    Thanks all. An interesting side note. Just behind the trucks was an old house mostly used for storage. A leaking propane tank last week blew it up. Thankfully no one hurt.
