I think that this is a good use of the US flag symbolism - I have said on some other images using the flag that "Without wishing to offend, the patriotic call implicit in the flag may switch off some non-US voters - very slightly cheapens the image for me as it feels as though the symbol is being used to evoke an emotive response that the picture would not otherwise demand." Here, I think that you have managed to combine it with a little more dignity and relevance than most.
However, I am not a fan of the selective desat - too much white here for a full desat to work, I think. Maybe a muted tone would have worked better? |

| would have been better if everything was black and white, except the flag coffin. soldiers in color take away from the effect. |

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Seems like you were there at the right time. Good shot. The only thing I would change is crop some off the right of the shot. |

| Very powerful image. Not so sur the selective desat worked on the grass. The stones look like they are floating or were pasted in. Otherwise a really good photo. Good Luck |

| Nice clean shot. Good job of desaturation usage. Hope you do well, as this picture is just enough different from the rest, that you should place well. Good luck!! |

| I had thoughts of photographing a burial ceremony, but decided that was a private event for the families involved. This however is done in a very tasteful way, because it does not include the immediate family. Very nicely done. <8> |

| Nice shot, it may be better having left in the green in the photo. But I still like it. |
