My Father-in-law is running for mayor and asked me to take a few photos for his website. This is the Flag in his front yard. Its nice in that it is able to be lowered down from 20ft to about 10 ft. I stood him on a step stool and had my wife use a leaf blower to get it to fly.

This man ought to be proud of this picture! Nice job. Love the muted feel of the colors and the composition with the flag. One thing... the eyes are very unnatural. No one has Ice blue eyes like that. I think you just worked them too much in PP.
