This is Earl Eagle. I took this picture of him at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge in Ohio. I didn't like the background of the picture, so I put him against the sky. One other thing about Earl.......he's stuffed. Yep. He's not alive at the present time. LOL.

Hey Jimbob, you shouldn't have told us that. Nobody would have guessed that the bird is a stuffed one. Looks great and majestic against the moody sky.

Jimbob, I agree with Raj's comment above. If you wouldn't have told us that this is a manip, think everyone (myself inclusive) would have thought that this was a real scene. Great manip anyhow my friend.

This is fun Jim. The sky replacement was inspired and I'd never have guessed he was stuffed if you hadn't told me. Nice the way the light's falling on his neck too.

Nice work with Earl ... I thought it was too good to be true! Probably the best looking dead , or stuffed bird I have ever seen.

If you have a garden please feed the birds this freezing winter, & supply drinking water not ice, it's so important. . . . Help dwindling bird numbers survive.
