"My Pride, My Flag"

The National Flag has a very respectful position for the citizens of any country. They value it more than anything else. This time I am before you with a photograph, “My Pride, My Flag”. I clicked this image on the occasion of India’s 64^th Republic Day, 26^th January-2013. I was in my office premises and was waiting for the moment when Indian National Flag was to be hoisted. Suddenly I noticed one of my colleagues with Tri Colour flag in his hands. The way he was holding the flag, fascinated me deeply. There seemed a true sentiment of patriotism in his posture.  Furthermore his Khadi-Jacket added to the feel of   Indian Nationalism. I requested him to allow me for taking some photographs and he happily agreed. I clicked a few frames. 
Later, while editing-process, I concentrated on the hands with flag in order to get  an unusual image. In fact the hands seemed to speak more in comparison of facial expressions. My fellow photo-artists also liked this composition and their positive feedback motivated me to share this image with you.

I used a Canon Powershot, A-580 compact camera.
