I wasn't going to enter into this challenge...and still don't think I should but thought...need the practice better do it anyways. So heres a shot...It was getting ready to snow so the sky was whitish and I seen the flag...thought it was a good opprotunity!

Sparpened, curves, hue/saturation, resized, rotated, cloning on flag pole and branches out of lower part of the screen...think thats all

Nice contrasts of color here. The creative composition works well. IMHO the shot could have had the same effect with less negative space. Perhaps even if the flag filled most of the frame it would have had the same impact? I wonder if taking this from almost underneath the flag itself with the overcast sky above as a backdrop may have made an interesting shot? Just my opinion, nice shot nonetheless

Good idea, but a little too much negative space for my taste.

Good use of ROT and negative space. Maybe bump up the color saturation so the flag pops a little more.
