I like this, the single flag being in focus gives it a very melancholy feel, perfectly suited to the location. Great series of shots

I didn't know about these flags - Il'll have to go to look for them. Very Dungeness and well taken Nathan.

How very beautiful, and very Dungeness - art created out of debris.
The focus and angle are perfect, but I would crop off the top to get rid of the oblong white blob which is a bit of a distraction.

Lovely! I tried blocking the top with my hand but I think it reduces the interest of the picture.

A well-seen and well-seized opportunity with an unusual and attractive subject. Use of shallow dof is spot-on.

I was reminded of a walk round Biddenden vineyard and my efforts to photograph the coloured tags used as markers on lines stretched above the rows of vines. Your image is more artistic in every way!

Nice image Nathan. The crop on v2 tidies it up.

It reminds me of bygone school sports days for some reason. Not sure if there is some sort of subliminal message there.

Thanks for the pm. I was imagining more of a letterbox crop, keeping the width of the frame. Pale bokeh is the bane of such images, it's darn difficult to clone out!

Makes it a special image to only show part in focus, I really like the effect Nathan! We love Dungeness and have met a few artists and other interesting people down there! I think you have to be different to live there anyway, it's another world!!
