Looks like you photoshoped the sky in.

Jeffrey,

Yes I did....I knew it looked   off. The real sky was gray. I'm going to do it again with a new Photoshop technique.....I'm in the learning stages of PS. Thanks for the comments.

If it were me, I'd have left the original gray sky in.  The cloud patterns tend to distract from the main subject matter, which is an excellent eagle (or whatever it is) picture.

Lisa,
Thanks for the suggestsion.....I'll give that a try. It is , infact,  a premature Bald Eagle...they look that way until about age 5 then they start to chage to the white head we see in the adult and in most photographs.
Thanks Again.
