 I thought this flag looked very cool. I interpreted it as a symbol, like the fall of America or something. Since the flag is torn and worn, as is America. Also, the clouds formed a figure kind of looking like an angel, like the angel is watching over America...

It would be better if the flagpole was strait. Also, there is a bit of mess in the bottom left.

Sad but possibly true, though I think it'll be more than just the nation. Would have liked this photo more with the pole straightened, lights photoshopped off, and tree cloned out in the lower left. Good capture otherwise...
