I thank everyone for your feedback, I answer most comments. I work for a school PHOTOGRAPHY company and it is nearly impossible to get permission to show personal info here. That is why I cropped so close, but felt that I conveighed the theme here, the flag, the ambulance, the military-ROTC idea!

May I ask where this is...I guess I could wait until after the challenge. I work for the Ambulance Company in the background.

ok, this is a great example of great timing, and perhaps planned timing as well. Good job. Especially with the DOF!

I would like this better without the bus in the background.

I feel there is more to this scene than what the photo shows, to me the crop is to tight. Nice color and the exposure seems to be good, I would just like to see more of what is happening. 6

This is not really my type of shot, but looking past that it's a good, clean image, with great colours.

I like the angle you have used here. It conveys a nice message.
