I personally feel that there could have been a more interesting perspective. You could have made it seem like there a lot more then there are, it feels to me that there is too much empty space, perhaps having been closer to the flags, make them look much bigger up close.
I see you wanted to incorporate as many flags as you could to represent the magnitude of loss, but for this challenge the perspective might have been accentuated by taking a photo down in between two rows of the flags. Nice salute
Nice Picture. Tragic and peaceful at the same time. I wish it didn't blurr out so quick but maybe cropping at the top of the flag line would help. Good Job!
