Nice perspective. I actually did not even notice the flag originally as I
was more interested in the flowers and the idea of Spring starting up.

I felt that the picture was being misinterpreted as a big flag waving
kind of thing.
I didn't feel as if it was that political of a statement. I thought it
was very much about subtlety.
It is more political becuase of the fact that we happen to be in a war now.
When you're in a war and there's a flag in the picture then the picture
is a big pro war patriotic statement.
But the same image during time of peace is not seen as a political
patriotic statement. It's just a picture that has a flag in it.
