It’s an interesting exercise, because that is exactly what we would

you are right Geoff, it is not a conventional image...
I don’t get a clear message from the image though. In the context of
9/11 it made more sense.
what did?
The best element in it for me is that the curve of the flag rope
matches neatly with the curve of the covering branch
please see some other responses Geoff, cus you are very thoughtful...
and on the right track...thank you, Steve

I have a problem with this image. Nice composition, nice color, but...
Subjects in a photograph are sharp. Non-subjects are better when not
sharp because one's brain tends to dismiss un-sharpness as not
important.
My eyes immediately focus on the tree and I have a lot of trouble
paying attention to the flag.
This is just my humble opinion.
