Whether this is Photoshopped or not, I think this is a great.
And I thought it was worth sharing.
I’m a bit old school. I like the idea, but knowing if it’s been photoshopped or not makes all the difference to me in terms of it’s overall greatness.
While I would want to see a bit of a higher resolution photo, I do believe I can see the lower part of the moon in front of the bottom beak. One can also see some greenish brown artifacts across the bird's back.
I imagine the original composition (assuming it's been manipulated) would be better. That said, I have seen photos wherein great care has been carried out to accomplish the same effect naturally (i.e., not manipulated) but most all I have seen involved staging with say a human hand where the back object is seen between two fingers, etc.

I'm not 100% sure Rik....

Egg has scientifically proven the photo to be real. There can be no doubt in anyone's mind now.
Although sticking the moon between fingers etc. is a old as holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, we do tend to dismiss things as 'shopped' as being inferior. Even the hastily jammed together meme has me nodding in appreciation. Someone thought of it, created it, and went to the trouble of uploading it to whatever platform. So the photo isn't real...admire the creativity and effort, however slight.
10/10 to whoever made the gif.

nice one egg ;)
Thanks peeps. It's not a gif but a html5 file created between Xara Designer Pro X 16 & Hippani Animator 5.
Fantastic, Egg.
Rik, the important thing is that YOU liked the image, however it was produced.
In that respect it's a success and I hope you continue to enjoy it.
This would make a Where's Wally game!
on the basis that we are not dealing with a real bird here, or at least one that was but is now stuffed, it might not take that much setting up on the right day, but still quicker and easier to PS it - does it matter? I don't think so... this is so far behind the cutting edge of today's image manipulation possibilities you might argue it was no more cheating if it was than using a camera with auto adjustments etc
beauty is in the eye of the beholder....
A bit of fun, using Xara: http://acorn.xara.hosting/storker/.

I think I have seen this photo before, and yes it is pretty cool.
My guess is photoshopped, as the chances of getting the beak and moon at that exact position are astronomical :/
is that an intentiona pun? ;)
Is it a picture you have taken or designed? I think it is great.
