High Flight
John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

good idea, but text you can add in the description area and keep the entry totally a photoshop work
i hate text in the picture - the image itself must speak!
good luck!
Well I know in the Photo Shop world text is frowned upon, your choice of poem is just beautiful and solid, (Poetry is always a risk if the subject is too cute or cheesy or secular) and where I get my posters printed this type of work is VERY POPULAR.with the public, KUDOs on a very beautiful image and the use of Papyrus Font which is my absolute favorite font for poetry/cards/titles etc.... GOOD LUCK!!!
nice job
I think the blue on the plane is a bit overdone
Howdie stranger!
