I agree.

Think this needs a better surroundings to highlight the "out-of-placeness" factor.

Nice atmosphere, but you gotta wish there was just a bit of wind. =)

I get the concept, but it might have been better with something in the picture that looked modern to give it context.

Nice use of contrasting somber greens and bright red. That said, flags are kind of cliché and that can sap a decent image of a lot of its power.

The composition is good, and I like the clarity against the (apparently) Southern Mountain backdrop. The title fits the picture.

Simple, yet right on the mark for this challenge. It's amazing isn't it, how the Civil War still remains a viable subject 140 years later. There still seems to be an article or two in our local paper every week, mostly from a historical context (Central Virginia). The blown out sky is going to wreak havoc on your score. Good luck.

I like the shot - not sure about the title - Guess it depends on your view of the Flag - States Rights or racism?

I really like this shot and the title is fitting. The fog is a nice touch, and although I'd usually want to see a flag in the wind, the limp defalted nature of it adds to the idea nicely.

Not to put to fine a point on it, but it's not an "idea"; like it or not, it is history, and it is heritage. And this is not an example of an anachronism.

slightly DNMC... the surrounding environment does not give a clue for the flag misplaced in time.

Hmmm. I'm from Richmond, Virginia so I find this an intriguing concept. I like the execution as well, with a nice muted-color background to offset the interestingly tattered flag.

I hope you left the explanation of the idea in your description.
The confederate flag isnt a real symbol of slavery. I guess things get misconstrued in time. 13 stars that eventually came to not represent the same states anymore.
