This photomanipulation caught my eye actually a few days ago, but I forgot to comment and favorite it 8D;
Anyways, the piece is beautiful! The concept and originality is outstanding, I've never seen anything like it in my two and 7/8th years on DeviantART! The Eagle was a great choice for symbolizing freedom, for obvious reasons. Though, I think you should have had the 'wisp' our the 'thought' a bit more...transparent? more fadey? Yea, more fadey! But that's just my opinion.
It was a little difficult to find the man, as most of the picture is quite dark, but that just makes the eagle/thought bubble pop out more, which I quite like.
It is definitely visionally enhancing. It hits you with a lot of feelings. You see a man in chains, dreaming of the outside, of a bird flying free. It raises many thoughts, and for some, a lot of feelings. Honestly though, you see a lot of art with the dream bubble, or the thought bubble type of thing, and I have seen a lot of the chains, freedom type. His expression does show his longing or his weariness, and the background is fantastic. Upon further thought, he seems as if he is waiting. Waiting for what? I don't know. Maybe for his life, freedom, to see someone. Maybe this is just a remembrance. At first, I didn't really get that he was in a prison prison, like a real one until I saw the bars. So now it's, did he do something wrong? Was he captured? And I just got those marks. So now you can tell that he's probably been in there for some time. But still, questions arise. When is this time period set in? What did he do? Or what was done to him? Then I notice he also looks like he either works out, or he's a hard worker. So when was he put in there? What does he do in there? Is it all just dreams? It's a very thoughtful piece, and I like looking at it. It makes me feel a mixture of sadness, happiness of the bird, darkness from the cell, and so on. This is a good piece. Sorry that I give a bad critique that's kind of all over

All in all, a very awesome piece
