I like this a lot -- I like that the vets are looking at us (though yourlens) and through dark sunglasses -- and that one face is in the stars and the other in the stripes -- the flag 'though tattered is flying in the wind giving the photograph the 'spirit it needs -- by overlapping the negatives you have ceated a mystical feeling proper to Memorial Day -- great photography.

Hi Cindi, Perfect candid shot, and the framing by the out of focus metal steer of the bike and the obscured background is excellent. What puzzles me is what caused the softness and the blur in the veteran. With that lens, an 1/125' shutterspeed should be well in focus shot hand-held?
As for the composition, I might have considered cropping off the windscreen of the bike, as it is a tad distracting, and not a vital element.
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Cindi, Thank you for your constructive comments, I appreciate it alot. Especially the "kindered spirits" grabbed my attention, but I think you give me too much credit... Looking at your portfolio, I think your work depicts much more creativeness and experssiveness than I value my own photos for. Yet, that intrigues me, as I feel a need to explore that kind of openness more often.... I find your photos very attractive and inspirational.
The message you are sending creates a mixture of feelings. I think that message is clear. Very clear, and it states no political opinion, but more of a personal ambiguity. The frayed Amercan flag is the key element, IMO.
I like that you "confess" it is not a double exposure, but you could've fooled me, here. Now I know, the frame could've given it away, but I don't think I would've noticed that.
Sandwiching the negatives in the enlarger is definately a technique I would like to try, though. I only think I would've increased the contrast a bit though. I think that would send the message I perceive more clearly. Secondly, it looks as if you burned the exposure on top a bit, which makes the the frayed flag come out more clearly, but the lower part seems a bit underexposed.
Notwithstanding these thoughts (which are obviously of a subjective nature), I think it is a fabulously creative and original photo, and a very elaborate one at that.
Cheers,
Hugo

Imagine what you could do with a Leica! I like this very much, Cindi, for it reveals you as a sincere photographer -- prescinding from your natural beauty -- it shows us the tools of your craft but most importantly the hint of your discernng eye!

nice shot. I'd add more DOF to get the camera and lens in focus too, they are blurred which won't do for your purpose.
