Rule Britannia

Ahoy!

I had so many ideas, but when I flogged off my DSLR, I lost interest. I saw this, and thought . . that'll do nicely!

PP: Cropped, de-noised, unsharp mask and basic colour adjustments (I'm no good at this pp malarky).

Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ3
Shutter Speed: 1/25 sec
ISO: 80
Focal Length: 32mm

Re: Rule Britannia

I like the way each flag has a differing level of transparancy...a bit like politicians.

Re: Rule Britannia

Full Marks for getting an entry without your normal kit Pirate, and very British

Re: Rule Britannia

Blimey - overdose of Britishness on this one. Is one of those flags hanging upside-down?

Yes, there is one upside down! The one behind the main foreground flag (bottom of it showing behind).
