"Take all that you've become
Set your standards high
You deserve the best. . .
To be all that you can be.
Soar above the clouds
And let your dreams
Set you free."

Stunning! Instant impact. After looking at the image for a while I personally would prefer a central composition but this is just personal taste. A beautiful image that "hit" me as soon as it loaded. 10 from me.
Lovely detail, and interesting angle - the only problem is that for him to fly at this rate of climb he'd need a rocket motor strapped to his back :- )
Love the light coming through the wings :-) Not an easy shot to expose, I'd wager! I'd try desaturating the parts of the bird with a bluish cast to make him look even more angelic.
very good shot, love the light coming through the wings, and the bird composed this pic for you by making its body into a leading line! top 10 for sure! 9
