Memorial Day

For Veteran's Day I tried making pictures of a little green army figure. I wanted to do the same thing for Memorial Day, but put a different twist to it. I stole borrowed a flag from Church this morning and messed around with pictures early this evening.  [ I did ask first... ]

Its been a while since I have done anything with silhouettes and this is the picture I had in mind.  Memorial day also marks the unofficial start to summer, so I am hoping to make a picture that describes that theme too.  However, this one is more important-- so I did first.

I couldn't decide which composition was best so I am including both here.

As an aside, I managed to break a light stand today.  *sigh*
