New era

This is a wonderful piece, and you've clearly paid great attention to detail here. I like the way you've used a wall of clouds to help bring focus away from the sky, pushing our attention to the birds flying off. The light flare bringing focus to the tree atop the Earth is a lovely touch as well.

I am curious as to why there are two light flares; the one near the birds, and the one coming ot the lower (viewer's) left of the picture. It simply strikes me as a bit odd. But I do love this piece, and I thank you for sharing it. You've certainly created something from all of that stock which forces the viewer to stop and look at breathtaking beauty while considering the underlying message behind the art.
