Heh, that kinda reflects how I feel sometimes. Watching the birds fly around in the sky... Anway, the layering in the background is beautiful, and the foreground is wonderfully rendered. There's plenty of symbolism between the flying bird and the way it seems to be flying away from the city(representing freedom?) or maybe I'm just reading too deep into it. Anyway, keep up the amazing work, and I'm sorry I couldn't comment on this sooner!
