Using my longest focal length (400mm) to compress the space between the flag and the man standing just behind it, makes it appear as if the man has wrapped himself in the flag, symbolic of extremely patriotic behavior. Actually, there are several feet between the flag and the man, but the long telephoto lens does not allow us to see that such space exists. It is an appropriate motif for Jacksonville, a 19th century town which calls itself “one of the most historically significant communities in the western United States.”
