You'll always get extra credit points from me when veteran's are a subject :) This is a great shot, and I really like howt he clouds seem to swirl around the memorial!
Very dramatic sky - i wish you would have composed this a bit differently - the sign and flag dead center really separates the image into two parts for me
For a split second I thought “oh no, another missed focus shot”. That was until I saw that sky. Wow! That is fantastic and I’m glad you decided to focus on that. The gold on the sign is just an added bonus for one of the best dramatic sky shots I’ve seen for a while – well since my own similar image a few months ago titled “A photog's dream of 'Nice Weather'”. Actually, I prefer yours. Well done!
