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.
I understand Jim, and looked at that way, I agree.
Clearly, I could have focussed on the flag, or both...
but I chose to do it this way...
It gives me a certain feeling, but, then again, maybe the tree is the
subject...
