I like the colors, the texture of the sky, and the way that huge flag dwarfs the size of the helicopter. --Melanie

Two things that fly... in the same shot. Well done, Simon!

Simon, I like your perspective and the good sense of scale here...that certainly is a BIG flag. Neat how you captured two flying subjects...the flag literally being flown by the helicopter. Well seen and taken. MFC

What a great way to fly the flag! Simon, this is a great capture and not one you're likely to see very often. How does the helicopter land without getting all tangled in the flag? Bev

Great capture, Simon, of both the flag and the crisp winter skies I remember so well from Canberra. Helen

Thanks Deb. The flag is absolutely massive. At first I thought it was the flag that is flown from Parliament House here in Canberra, Australia but as the heli approached it looked to be a lot bigger than that. I included the moon for scale ;)

Wow, Simon! That's some flag! Great lighting here. How BIG is that flag?---Deb
