Hey welcome to YWS! I really liked how you made the colors of the flag pop. The picture looks a little blurry to me, so maybe you could sharpen it. And you said you took it on a stormy day so you could also edit up the sky to make it gray and dismal looking and that would really make the colors of the flag pop. Other than that, this is wonderful.

Hello Campergirl!

Welcome to YWS! I hope you're having fun here.

Well, this is very very good. I like the composition and the solemnity captured in the picture(Well, I hope you get what I'm saying.)
Points on where you can improve:
1.The picture is a bit grainy. Maybe you used sharpen on a digital editing software. Try to use that feature to a bare minimum.
2.You could edit the part of the pole which is exactly to the left of the circular fold in the flag. It seems a little overexposed and distracting.

Keep clicking!
Cheers,

Hello, there! I am in love with your picture, here.
This is simply wonderful. So...patriotic! Now, I see some were saying they had a problem with the noise in this picture. Indeed, there is noise, but I think in this case, it makes the picture wonderful. I imagine this is one of those pictures I would find in my grandmother's attic. An antique. For some reason, I thought of the '90s when I saw it. Ah, but I am rambling now.
Nice job.
