That is so cool.

The kids love that pic. We spent several hours at our national cemetary last year picking up fallen flags and re-setting them in their place on Memorial Day.

Talk about a humbling experience.

Pic is saved.

Thank you!

Fauxtography. Obvious pixel halo around the eagle, yet not around anything else in the photo. Shadow from the eagle's headstone only matches one other headstone's shadow.

Sorry. Praise it as a sentiment or symbolism, but don't praise it as good photography or even good photoshop work.

Besides, what makes you think the eagle isn't just looking for an easy snack? They aren't above scavenging.

Make it a turkey like Benjamin Franklin wanted. The eagle is a bird of prey that attacks things weaker than it. The turkey is ever vigilant and defensive with keen senses and majestic.

It is nice symbolism, even if it is photochopped.

We can still like pretty pictures, right?

Damn eagles are such biblethumpers...
