 I was actually taking shots in this cemetary for Halloween photos. I had other ideas for the wind challenge but when I saw this flag whipping in the breeze, I couldn't resist. The cemetary is actually on a hill ,hence the tilted horizon. The Winds of change are the literal wind blowing the flag, the wind blowing in the storms in the background, and then the change from life to death. It didn't do as well in the challenge as I had hoped but thanks for the votes and everyone's comments!!!

The rips in the flag attest to the wind and to both the persistence and prevalence of it, as well as the persistence of the flag itself. I like the focus such that you see the drops on teh grasses, and I like being able to read the date on the headstone as well. Nicely presented.

The flag is well focused, and you have some other elements of interest to look at, which is good. The foreground item just creeping into the photo (bottom center) is distracting. The big distraction is that tilted horizon! :D Best of luck to you in the challenge.

The tilted horizon is a bit distracting but keep the flag shots coming. Bumping up.

I love the contrast, the old date on the stone, and how the tilt of the horizon offsets the lines of the flag. Great shot.

Marred slightly by the uneven horizon.
