Read the whole article. The photographer says that it is NOT photoshop. He took 90 shots that day. He says if he were to use photoshop, he would have moved the eagle’s tail to reveal the name.

I grew up about two miles from this cemetery.
There is a large wildlife refuge adjacent to the cemetery (although the eagle would’ve had to fly over I-494 to get to the cemetery).
Entirely plausible that this was not photoshopped.

Here...I performed a few quick alterations using photoshop..a slight adjustment in light values...and a subtle blurring...on the edges of the image of the eagle..in the inage on the right
The Photo on the left remains untouched
I wanted to match the amount of out of focus" blur of the surrounding items...at that particular distance, as closely as possible
Id say that theres a pretty good chance that the eagle was pasted into the photograph as posted

It’s not photoshop.
I live about 15 minutes away from Ft. Snelling.
It is next to the Mississippi river and during the early spring there are a lot of eagles in the area.
The guy said he took plenty of crappy shots before getting the good one.

Lots of eagle food hopping around in cemeteries. When I was in college I would see an eagle every morning before sunrise sitting on the corner of the dorm looking to snag a freshman crossing the quad.

Nope. I saw the other photos he took that day from different angles. Right place at the new right time...

The shadow of the tombstone the eagle is sitting on inconsistent with the other shadows. Doesn’t look right.
Photoshop for sure.
