Creativity is all about identifying when, where and what to shoot... I would have just passed by without finding anything special about this scene...
I agree with what Nandakumar wrote...........very nice, and also an unusually image.......I love this........
Griddi.....
Well spotted and captured Jim.
Well seen Jim. The difference in FG/BG light levels makes this. In Camera or PP?
Thanks all. Third story corner window from the front. Light was coming from the back so the flag was bright.
The flag stands for the wrong things these days, so it reinforces an angry message for me. (nothing personal of course)
Just wonderful, Jim. Great eye and composition.
Probably Matt might be referring to excessive and belligerent patriotism shown by people standing under different flags, which, i think is a fact
Thanks all for the comments. Sorry you have a problem with it Matt.
I am also sorry you have a problem with it Matt and I have sat back, taken a deep breath and did not write what first came to my mind. All of us, after all, are entitled to our own opinions...
Hi Nandakumar...... thank you for your reply, but I do not understand what you mean with your reply, did you mean people do not like to acknowledge the flag where they standing under ? Would this relate to their own national flag, and also any other flag than their national flag ?
For myself I can say, I am proud as an Australian to stand under my flag, but also if I would be a visitor to any different country I would have absolute no problems to stand under their flag ........
Greetings,
Griddi......
It is a nice pickup. That is all.
Cheers Ole
Griddi,
Everybody can be or has to be proud of being himself and a proud citizen of his Nation and should give due respect to one's own National flag...we are all doing this, because that is the way things have to be. But one must learn to respect feelings of people of other countries, respect the feelings of the citizen therein etc. Even in India, i see now and then over patriotic and non-cosmopolitan attitudes, which I always hate. I was hinting to that.I never meant to read between lines, it is blank there That is all
Regards
