This photo was taken during the town Veteran's Day ceremony along with about thirty others. The original included another photographer (town paper I assume) but I cropped him out along with the top portion of the memorial statue. I thought the blurred flag along with the placing of the wreath would make a good submission for this challenge.

the focus seems a little off here. this photo could do with a bit more sharpening to bring out the lettering in the monument. would also be a much better shot if you could see the man entirely.

Nice shot.

I was trying to scroll up to see the upper portion of the statue. If the upper portion of the statue was cropped out....i'd like it much more.

If this was in focus, it could look a bit like a CIA surveillance shot. :)

Focus on background is not strong enough.

Flag in the foreground does add impact. I would crop much tighter on the top and bottom to eliminate extraneous background, and maybe try for a sharper focus on the wreath.
