 Sun shining through a flag down the street from where I work.

I like the way the sun seemed to be igniting the flag in the part where it shines through the union.

My alternate title is "In Fire Their Faith Shall Be Repaid" (from the song "Pride of Man" by Hamilton Camp) but I decided to use the more neutral one.

Cropped and rotated, almost no tone adjustment, USM at 66%/0.6dia/TH=5; JPEG=8/10.

Nicely done with keeping the sky blue. I think the roofline kinda messes up the composition tho.

The roofline, beat-up flag pole, and the odd weave of the flag did this one in. Could have been much better.
