Paolo bonjour - encore une fois splendide et superbement composée - c'est grand - j'adore tes mariages de couleurs, tu aurais du être peintre (mais alors peut être nous n'aurions pas eu la chance de t'avoir sur TE)
Merci et bonne journée

Simply flag and very complicated story behind it :-) Malaysian flag copied from US one? World is strange :-) Nice photo, but I think sea and sky are better than flags :-)

A really pity that the image was scanned because all (composition, colours, sharpness...) is perfect.
The note is also good.

very nice capture of the flag with wonderful beach on the background
interesting choice of composition with the flag filling most of the frame, but I like it

Paolo, love the way you have composed this image to show the symbol of a country on its own element. This image says so much about Indonesia at a glance. Excellent job!

Hi Paolo, excellent note that let us the origin of this malaysian flag ... quite near of USA's one and a muslim inspiration too for crescent.
And of course you bring you touch to give this picture a good warm atmosphere, quite yellow and green, that emphezise the background.
It's a pleasure :)
I was wondering if there were some flags posted here and i have my answer :)

Interesting and unusual composition from you today Paolo. The flagpole is pointing the way to the scene beyond. Well done

Interessante questa bandiera simil-americana. E poi mi piace in questo caso il risultato dello scanner, i colori azzurri-verdini del mare sono belli e verosimili

It's nice to see the Jalur Gemilang been well known across the globe. Yeah, our PM will be very happy about it.
A good shot with a simple motive that makes TE the point of learning the world through photography.
Cheers and good day.

thats an informative note. I always wandered why the Malaysian flag is so similar to the American. What a strange situation as the US is seen as a sort of enemy by many Muslim nations. This shot is quite nice. It has your characteristics with the added, and strange element of the flag.

Hi Paolo - another appetising tropical beach shot, the flag makes a very appealing contrast with the jade water. I wish the entire flag was visible, but I know it's difficult with a moving object.

J'ai choisi de commenter celle-ci parmi toute votre galerie car je porte un attachement tout particulier à la Malaysie. Elle est très réussie, les couleurs notamment sont superbes...et ce drapeau, fièrement accroché à un simple bout de bois!
Merci pour le partage ( and sorry to write in french, my english is so bad!)
