That's mind-blowing, reminds me of how a galaxy looks through a powerful telescope!

Is this a composite? Looks like the moon may be?

So majestic and beautiful

This photo is stunning and almost unbelievabley perfect!

America whispers in the ear of the rest of the world “wtf is a kilometer”.

Not even a good job at editing it. Lighting is off but the quickest way is look at the white halo around the bird. If you are going to digitally create it at least call it out for what it is and not pass it off to be real.

The photo shop is almost there

“This one time in band camp…. The moon was just right… I swear god ordained this photo.”

This is such a beautiful picture!

Go Birds!

Best picture of the year 

Three picture composite...

1) The main landscape photo,

2) The Moon... Notice the depth of field... The trees are blurred, but the moon is detailed, …

God bless this is so American

frame in a frame. reminds me of the style of pictures my student James York took when he was shadowing me

Truly goes to show how beautiful those birds really are

Both the eagle and moon are in sharp focus. However, all of the landscape portion of the photo is blurred. Impossible to be real.

There’s nothing wrong with saying I altered this photo to enhance its appearance. I won’t judge you. I will think you made something very creative. Just be straight up. Stop acting like you whipped out your iPhone and snapped a picture and that what it…

Of course it's not real. eagles are diurnal, meaning they are active and fly during the day and not at night. The lighting is all off. But, you can't deny its impressive.

Like this was the best country album of the year

Lanette Corbett this would be a good wood burn picture !!

Super picture, clearly photoshopped, no way it's a National Genographic winner.

Eagle was added to picture… you can see the white cut mark around it. Sorry…..

every two or three months I see a post saying its tbe photograph of the year

FLY EAGLES FLY

Go birds

Soooo you have background bokeh on a sharp subject from what would be a long lens to make the moon look that big with background compression, yet both moon and subject has details and are in focus. While the mid-ground is bokeh. Right

Can’t help but think of Cleetus McFarland hotdoggin it around Daytona in his hotrod ziggin instead of zaggin

This is genuine garbage

I want the person who captured this images name so that I can thank him for aiming to be a better artist.

Erica A Arriaga absolutely beautiful
