One sky, two different eagles on another day. The one actually screaming had to go in the background because he wasn't as sharp, but I wanted him in there to really fit the quote. Processed it to look like a night sky for a bit of moodiness and glow-y for dream/nightmare feeling.

(reference for me: 444,474,494)

PP - converted everyone from RAW, NIK CEP darken/lighten center and reflector efex and resized sky, CEP Midnight filter on all 3 pix, resized eagles, extracted and pasted them onto background, sharpened foreground eagle and blurred/glamour glowed back one, Nik reflector efex on flattened image.
