Maybe a new background?
I have been trying to do that myself but it dosen't look real.
Anybody wants to give it a shot?

This could take some serious time which I dont have but just to encourage others to take up the callange, I am not sure that this is worth saving given the ammount of work it would take. Same shot against blue sky of soft bokeh grass would have been excellent.

erasing that entire fence will tak a entire day. if you reall want to salvage the bg, sit down and do it. it doesnt look right, post it up an someone will help you out. remember practice makes perfect.

A great idea. Gugu, if youre good with using PS try this:
Take a shot of a blue sky.
Then cut the hawk out of the other shot and paste it in the blue sky shot(centered).

It may take a while, or anyone here who is good at PS can teach you how it can be done (I dont know how but seen it done before).

I agree with amtphoto; your best bet here is to place the bird onto a completely different backround (which could be done quite easily in about 15 min). Its a very interesting capture of the eagle, with the eye visible, and the shape of the body looking like a flying stingray, so its probably worth the effort to see how it looks on a different backround.

I'd use White House as background but it's impossible for raptor to get that close to the president. The bird would get shot already. :lol:

Cool edit Grizz!!
How did you cut the eagle? Did you use Magnetic lasso?

Grizz, I like the way you take photography outta box and envision it in a BIG way.
Please show us more of your bird habitat shots.

WOW!!! Was that done using the magic wand tool and either cutting out the bird or the background?

I used the magnetic wand and just cut and pasted it into the moon pic. Sharpened the Eagle a little. A very quick and dirty manipulation. Just for fun. :)
