MilesbeforeIsleep Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I have several pics of buildings with the U.S. flag at half-mast. The subject of the image is not the flag or that it's at half-mast, it's incidental and is not a major component of the pic. My question is: do you think the flag is a distraction and therefore should not be used? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brooks Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Half mast is too distracting, unless it is a news image and the point of the image. I would either discard the image, or photoshop the flag to the top of the pole. If the building is not well known, eliminate the pole and flag entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Estall Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Surely the bit of information you need to attach to your photos is who has died and is being honoured. As ever, information enhances our photographs, or as Bill suggests , tidy the photo Edited December 20, 2018 by Robert M Estall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these days I'll open my eyes and look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Be sure to add the image has been digitally altered too. JIC. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too much trouble to PS out. Complex background. Buildings are local, will just shoot them again when I'm nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
