I don't think the photo expresses what you see at all. If you look at the roofline there are four anchor points to attach flags to. only one of them has a flag remaining and you can see a fallen flag. I don't think the concept of a fallen flag is conveyed particularly well, especially since two other flags are also missing. Perhaps if you were able to get higher up so as to show the ladders on the roof, there might be some extra meaning, or perhaps if the other flag poles were there flag less the story might be stronger. Perhaps some creative cloning to put them back in is in order? Otherwise all I see is uninteresting framing on a run down motel.
