    Whipping Winds

    Just back from ten days in Washington DC. Beautiful city, no crowds, great weather, had a very nice time. As we approach Veteran's Day, here is a little something that I feel signifies the honor, the struggle, the memory to our nation's veterans. Taken at the Korean War Memorial.

    Re: Whipping Winds

    Hey this is pretty nice looking. I really like the flag, and the pole though also blurred (why?), is acceptable. But the little flag below the American one seems more of a distraction to me. Maybe it's South Korea's flag?

    I like the effect of the US flag this way. It is a symbol easily recognizable even blurred like that. I am not a big fan of the POW/MIA flag below it being blurred out. Maybe too much detail in the flag and blurring it out seems to take away from it.

    seems too busy...
    the american flag is great...will always bring out one's patriotism.
    the rest is a bit distracting.
