Taking A Break As Evening Falls

As evening falls, an eagle is taking a break and will be heading off for his night time perch in the forest, beyond the lake.
Original background image was taken, in Autumn, at Willow Lake in Southern Oregon. The eagle was added as a composite image by using layers in Photoshop CC. The flying birds and foreground grasses were added with a Photoshop brush. If you enlarge the image, you will see a young buck on the other side of the lake. He is turning his head around to check out a noise that he has heard. Buck and reflection added as composite images.
Image was processed in Nik Color Effects Pro and Nik Vivezia. Final processing completed in Photoshop's Oil Paint Filter.
Photoshop brushes by Obsidian Dawn.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
