Great first entry! The blending is almost perfect, the low range or color works well on the mood and the idea is creative. Your style brings the fresh air to the competition and I see the potential in you work. I have few suggestions about the content of that image: since you want to show that she wants to fly, the spatial feel on the image is very important. All these birds are going to fly away or just flied not far from her. If you could add some other birds with different sizes, in different place of the DOF (depth of field), the topic will be emphasized more. Because she wears the dark clothes, it's better to make the brighter background. In your case, it's still okay because she's distinguishable, but if there are few bright clouds in front of her (background), this will be better.
One more thing maybe you've already known or not. The SBS is mandatory in the case of the source contest like this one, but in the theme contest without given source, the SBS is not mandatory, it's up to authors.
Wish you the best of luck with this entry, very well done, keep it up!

@langstrum: Ya the extra birds idea is really good. The BG was brighter....but I reduced the brightness to make the ground look far above the valley. And I have submitted the SBS
Thanks for all suggestion and wishes I will try to update if possible.
