A keep hoping the OP will read the helpful, detailed
comments he's had over the year, and act on them.

Hasn't happened yet - his photos are as bad as they
were st the start.

Teasing, it is Peru independence day afterall.
From that angle it looks the same as the Canadian one.

Not really... one year ago, we also got pictures of that flag. The first
one was appalling. Following suggestions here, it was re-shot and
evolved into something much better. This year, this first shot is
already better than last year's first (though not as good at last year's
last).

Which only shows he is pressing the shutter and hoping for the best.
He certainly is not thinking before taking his photographs. He is
neither taking care technically nor artistically and definately seems
to ignore advice. He is just like any other snapper, taking hundreds
of photos hoping one might just turn out good enough to put on his
flickr page.
