[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A late afternoon shot of the Washington Monument flags, on the plaza. There are always people in this place, and I tried to take silhouettes, instead of
the classical "light behind " picture.

On the aftermath of the loss of life and extensive devastation due to Katrina , I would like to extend my sympathy to all Americans.

merhaba izzet, i wouldn't be much surprised if very soon those flags were brought down to the halves of the masts; sad period for uncle sam it is, what we can hear from the news;
i like this simple yet loudly speaking image;
have a nice weekend, jerzy

Hi Izzet.
Very nice composition with good use of the light. But here is more important the meaning the photo.
Well done.

Hi Izzet
Great COMPO and use of light and POV. Nice atmosphere because of the late afternoon sunlight.
Take care, -Albrecht-

Hocam dengeler ve ogeler hersey super.............inanilmaz bir atmosfer ve detaylar...........harika

Very good picture of the monument, I find the place is often photographed but very few can come up with a good, full of thought and emotions image from the place, you did it here.
The combination of flags, silhouetted poeple and birds really does it for me here.

Hi Izzet;

I'm very surprised this shot has only received so little attention. The composition here is superb... A very well taken and well planned shot. The silhouettes are perfect against the evening sky, and I like the way the light shines through the flags.

Nicely done!
- Dan

I am stunned by this photo. It really couldn't have come out any better - with the bids and people silhoutted against the pink sky, but the color of the flags still preserved - incredible.
