it's a snapshot. Here's my opinion why: the pole is slightly too close to center of the frame.

Hey great...I love any flag picture. Looks like it was at a school or public place? I am including a flag shot of my own....it was taken on a naval vessel anchored in Croatia. The wind was actually blowing a thousand miles per hour, causing the flag to flap violently in the wind. But with the bright sunny day, I could use a very fast shutter speed. Pretty neat. Love your shot!!
