A very nice set, Mike, but my favorite is #2. It has a surreal look and feel to it. It tells a story as well or better than the other two (IMO).
Very well seen and captured.

Re: Flags at Sunset at the U.S. Washington Monument
I really like the 1st image but the 2nd really caught my attention. This morning I was reading about the elements of design of which shape is one of them. The 2nd image is a great example of that.

#3 looks very nice too although nobody has commented on it yet. All very nice images and I like the warm light

Re: Flags at Sunset at the U.S. Washington Monument
I like that one although I do find the bright sun reflection on the right side building to be a little distracting.

Good stuff, Mike. Lovely control of the light in the colour images. And a very well see opportunity for the B & W.

Re: Flags at Sunset at the U.S. Washington Monument
I like #2. The shadow and the expanse and height of the wall gives it the best composition.

I like the first for the colour and composition. Well seen on the 2nd - it pays to be alert.

Re: Flags at Sunset at the U.S. Washington Monument
Thank you, everyone!
Considering that the image of the shadows is my favorite and is a theme that could be used forever, I may return occasionally for the purpose of making more images like it. I captured about 100 images of shadows against the wall that day and kept four of them.
