Does this work for the perspective challenge? I have another one with a tall office building in the shot but the flag isn't as full. This was shot from directly underneath the flag at the Veterans' Memorial Park in San Antonio. I shot this in early afternoon but we had so many clouds on Sunday, along with the halo around the sun, and I liked the way the sun came through the flag so I thought it might work.

All C&C appreciated!

    It works for sure.
    Great colors and I really like the halo over the flag--it's pretty fitting.

    great shot, though if you could reshoot with the whole flag being visible, it might be nicer =c)

    I like it as is. Nice sky and light on the flag. Almost wish the pole was taking up more of the left side of the frame (or more sky) But that's just me wanting a little more space in the image. I would not want to include any more of the flag, it's about perspective, right? Would you expect to see the entire flag from the base of the pole?
