Yes, she is a Southern Black Lady and she gets it. Richmond, VA....Capital of the South during the war and now Capital of the State. Some may think it's posed, but it was just luck. Driving home when I saw her with the flag and I had to get the shot. The background is the Confederate Solders Chapel.
I like the way the church is framed by the flags, but I would not have chosen an ultrawide to capture this scene. The people are on the edges of the frame where the distortion is most evident. Good idea .. needs a better execution.

I'm okay with your comments. Problem was they are only allowed to stand on the sidewalk and not on the museum property. I could not back up and use a different lens as I would have been in the street. Had I positioned them it would not have been a true street photo. Wide was my only option. The distortion is not that bad. The women is wearing a big heavy coat and has long thick hair from under her hat that overhangs the coat. Take another closer look.
