The different shades of the clouds make them look fluffier. With the silhouette of the land given such a dark color your eyes first focus on it. Then the clouds with its beautiful color pushes the land out. The bird is a bit small to really notice at first.
A closer cropping of the bird , the land and the clouds would've given the picture a nicer composition.
Clean, beautiful colors, fits the challenge nicely in that it promotes the best freedom of all, flying. I only wish humans were free to do that. Oh, well, I'll work with what I have.
Another evocative alternative to the patriotic and heartfelt 911-related images. This reminds me very much of Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach.
This is my favourite shot here. The spirit of freedom is well represented and allows us to project our own thoughts on freedom without a literal reference. Good lighting and composition.
