I don't know much about adding objects, etc to photos so I thought I would try another one today. I had a glass paperweight of the world and used a hand made light box to shoot it and then I added the moon and the eagle. Please give me some suggestions.. They would be greatly appreciated ( I don't care if anyone alters or adds their own photos to show different techniques)

Headed for 2012

A couple of suggestions, although I really like the photo.

I would place the eagle a little to the right (or crop out some of the blue on the right) so that the bird leads one eye into the photo.

Even at the low magnification of the image as posted, I can see some artifacts left behind from incomplete masking of the individual components. They distract from the overall effect. There is no substitute for time spent compositing very clean images.

I will try your suggestions and see if I can't get the images better, thanks

Only one thing to say...I think the eagle should be darker.

Nice imagination! I would get a better, infocus shot of the moon, unless you like it that way.
