[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture from the designated area at the designated place for taking photos, which limits how and what you can photograph for security reasons. The flag colors showed up a lot better than what I thought they would. Keep in mind that the flag and flag pole are over 9 Kilometers away. You will notice that they tower over the 5 & 6 story builds next to the flag pole.

I really want people to come away with is that this is one huge flag and flag pole. So I created 2 layers on of the Background and the second the Flag. I took all the color out background and increased the saturation on the flag.

9 kms away ? I presume you have used full zoom.

Still, very scary picture.

Very interesting. you managed to convey the somber, nationalist, antiquated impression of North Korea that most of us have.

A good shot taken under difficult circumstances. And a good idea too. I remember seeing this flagpole and it really is huge.

  • Great

Very impressive shot - just the right amount of focus and detail in my opinion.

I read somewhere (maybe at the best flags site, Flags of the World (FOTW), that this is the highest flag pole in the world.
I don't like the post-processing, but I enjoy very much the opportunity to see this image here.
