Thanks for posting your story about your view and the very nice picture of the field of flags.
That IS a very powerful image of the number of people who are/were casualties.
I think seeing things like this is better than the number (numerals) as the mind can better get a sense of \"many\" by seeing some kind of visual representation of the number, whether by flags, crosses, headstones, or some other physical object.
I wish I had seen this field with my own eyes.
I like the composition with the tree in the center too. As there are no leaves on the tree, it gives the image/scene another dimension too \"The Fallen\" and the barren life that is left without the beauty of those that have fallen. Stark visual. Good subject for an image.
As I tend to \"see in BW\" I would like to see this in a BW image too. Perhaps on metallic paper or watercolor paper.
If you will allow me, I would like to post an edit of the image. Let me know if that is OK with you.
Sincere regards...
