Go vist! – I mean – really! Go and look or even better, participate!
His Majesty the Osprey 
. And yes – it is a composite of moon and Osprey. Though both absolutely genuine in their
position – it’s technically not possible to extend the depth of field to cover both bird and moon, there’s a workaround.
I first shot focusing on the moon, then on Mr. Osprey – and then I combined both in Photoshop.
Your work is just amazing. Are you a bird yourself? Gorgeous photos. As it happens, my skywatch photo is also from Florida, but very different, of course. Thanks for your magnificent posts.

Good grief Klaus!! You have surpassed yourself with this one!! I have loved all your photography but this one outweights all of them. I have never seen something I have liked as much as this. Excellent. Brilliant. Fantastic.

I love the effect you created with combining the owl with the moon. Gorgeous. And that osprey photo; the first one especially, is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing these. You’re a master.

Wow…that is so cool and shows how little I know to even think of something like that. You are a master, as always and the resulting shoti is just stunning…suitable for framing.

Klaus, we’ll soon have to call you tricky Dicky with your manipulations. What a clever idea, I just wouldn’t have a clue where to start shopping.
Great shots.

Awesome! I’ve never tried to do anything like that. It doesn’t look like an edit at all but then I guess that’s the goal isn’t it?
Excellent job!

A very beautiful photo of both the bird and the moon. Have a nice weekend. My weekend will be busy preparing and welcoming for the Chinese New Year on 26th January 2009.
Klaus, you always have something good for us. Ospreys are among my favorites, and this one is majestic indeed.

Great photograph Klaus and the Osprey is beautiful. I will be down your way next month hoping to see the shuttle go up and shoot a few birds myself.

what a great photo, I must learn how to use photoshop…….
Gill in Canada
Very, very nice work!! I tried that once, but that was a night shot and therefore much easier. An amateur like me could never have done this. Hats off!
Intense photo, Klaus. Very creative approach to composition!

You never fail to amaze me and I find myself speechless with this one so I’ll just say WOW.
Fantastic! This is why I need Photoshop. But I’m sure I would not have equal skills (or eye).
