I hope people recognise this as the Lyrics from Pink Floyd's: 'learning to fly'

so i decided to take a picture that covers that.
simple editing: darkened picture.

Congrats on your highest official score to date. Looking through portfolio, I am impressed with your work. Just watch those rule sets closely.
Camera Work/Technical: Nice, crisp focus and great sky tones.
Lighting: I think that the lighting is the main strength of the image. The silhouetting of the subject works very nicely with the gloomy sky for a great moody image.
Composition/Content: The tilt seems a bit much, but it really helps to pair the image with the title. It is a nicely, dizzying angle.
My Opinion: Great job meeting the challenge in a creative manner. I look forward to seeing much more of your images in the future.
I dig tilted shot´s a lot but only when it improves the shot and I don´t really think the tilt here is doing that as my eye wanders down to the low left corner due to the tilt, not at the sky and the girl standing there. Not a bad shot though.
