I hate to say this, but this would be wonderful if it were in better focus. There are definitely times when the moment is just that: there for a second and then gone. Either you get the shot, or you don't. Here you've captured the feeling, but you missed the focus. Touching, nonetheless.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think if I could pastel or charcoal this one it would be a great art print.

Yes. Photoshop does those kinds of things for you (no drawing talent needed), but I think the focus issue might not go away. If you could draw this...

I'n not a professional... but I love the slight blur. Gives the visual cue that this was a passing moment - and the symbolism that it can be taken for... inperfections n life, a life wiped away, memories blurred together, but patriotism still standing.

It may not have been on purpose, but I can't imagine it looking better any other way.
