Erik, I stood there in one spot for about 30 minutes trying to capture the right moment. :o  I could see through the flag in certain parts so I was trying to capture the flags in the background in the see-through areas on the flag.  It was harder than I thought it was going to be. :(  But in the end, everything turned out okay.

Very strong. The sum is stronger than the parts. Great ability to combine and balance all of it. It is possible to take it all at once and then enjoy the parts. Great wine bouquet feeling  8)

 Thanks for this great quality work
