Protected by the flag

It's an interesting arrangement, but a couple of technical things bother me. There's so much contrast that it's hard to make out much detail on the people and even on the buildings in the background. Opening up the shadows would help. Also, if it were mine I'd try to reduce the wide-angle perspective distortion on the buildings. You probably won't be able to eliminate it without squashing the flag too much, but there might be a middle ground.

Were they arranged like that for a reason or was a just a random event? I thought at first that they were trying to avoid the hot sunlight, but some of them are not dressed for heat, so it's not altogether clear .

Thanks for the comment Richard. I think that technically this is not a good pic and may not have a good fix. I was just fascinated that people were seeking the shade instinctively, even though, as you point out some seem dressed for colder weather.

Yes, sometimes there are these very interesting shots in conditions where the photograph is almost guaranteed to not be a winner. Like this one - not a great sky color, too much glare and not a great angle. You caught a fascinating moment, though!
