Andy's Angles: Up Close

It's not the greatest photo in the world, but a textbook example of what the experts tell you to do.

First, compose in thirds.  The left third is an in focus flag.  Grass in the middle.  Deliberately out of focus flags and trees everywhere else.

The blur gives a sort of "infinity" effect.  Infinity is rather appropriate.  There were so many brave men and women responsible for what we have today.
