This piece really conveys a sense of action and escape through the use of various techniques including the top-down perspective, motion blur, the character's challenging expression and the trail of flying feathers. Overall, its a captivating work with good composition and a good focus on the main subject. The use of cool and warm colors to direct where to look is very well utilized and it additionally captures the city like atmosphere of the surrounding environment. The character's wings also add a lot to the composition, leading the viewer's eyes to the face of the subject and the sprawl of the city below. However, there are a few improvements to point out as with any work of art. This piece is lacking in the element of story telling, as though we see the character acrobatically engaged in flight, (also denoted in the title), we don't see what has caused the action to occur. It's not so clearly depicted to me who or what the protagonist is challenging so perhaps as an improvement, add another figure with wings or cop lights in the city below to give more context to the situation. If there is something behind him, it is unfortunately not clear enough. In terms of techniques and composition, I imagine that the character is scaling up a glass building. I think adding a reflection beneath him would really help push the believability of the piece overall. Also, the character is looking towards the direction of his right wing. This leads the audience's eyes to follow his looks where the attention is drawn away from the face and to his wing. This isn't good as his right wing isn't so important as a element of the piece. I would darken or add a gradient from left to right on his wing so that the attention is pushed back to the figure himself. I think thats about it but overall, its still a great piece of work full of energy. Keep at it!
