Simple, yet right on the mark for this challenge. It's amazing isn't it, how the Civil War still remains a viable subject 140 years later. There still seems to be an article or two in our local paper every week, mostly from a historical context (Central Virginia). The blown out sky is going to wreak havoc on your score. Good luck.
I really like this shot and the title is fitting. The fog is a nice touch, and although I'd usually want to see a flag in the wind, the limp defalted nature of it adds to the idea nicely.
Not to put to fine a point on it, but it's not an "idea"; like it or not, it is history, and it is heritage. And this is not an example of an anachronism.
Hmmm. I'm from Richmond, Virginia so I find this an intriguing concept. I like the execution as well, with a nice muted-color background to offset the interestingly tattered flag.
I hope you left the explanation of the idea in your description.
The confederate flag isnt a real symbol of slavery. I guess things get misconstrued in time. 13 stars that eventually came to not represent the same states anymore.
