War Damned Eagle?
I just wonder if She is a Bald Eagle?
What’s that old American saying again about eagles and Fridays?
Btw, I love Alina.
Bird brained?
hahahahaha
very WTF
Nice puffies.
A nice photo for any day.
Well, she must be happy there aren’t any pigeons about.
Brave lady, an eagle has talons take close with a force of 3000 lbs per sq inch…..nice tits also.
Gotta be photoshopped. There’s a very good reason why falconers wear those heavy-duty gauntlets…
I thought the same thing, but I can’t see enough evidence to swear one way or the other.
The evidence is the fact if that falcon were actually sitting on her head, there would be blood gushing from her scalp, and she would be screaming like a banshee.
Just check out the talons on some of these birds, and they HAVE to grip onto something to land. All birds do. They don’t just land neatly, unless they are in water (like a pelican).

You know absolutely nothing about birds, do you? I own several, have handled live semi-feral hawks, and I can tell you that how they sit has nothing to with how they land. They can’t grip on things larger than they can wrap their feet around. When their feet are extended too far, they don’t have the musculature to pull back into a tight grip if the object they’re on doesn’t give. Rabbit, yes; human skull, no.
Look at the picture closely. See the wrappings on the feet? The leash leading from the right-most foot? The bird’s (more-or-less) tamed and cared for so that it doesn’t have the claws a feral bird would have, and is probably quite well used to sitting on “delicate” humans.
Of course that bird didn’t land on her head. If nothing else, at full tilt it would have sprained if not broken her neck. It was obviously set there by a handler prior to the shot. Hell, from the level of stupidity in your comments above, you know nothing about photographic shoots, either.
Do us all a favor. If you don’t know shit, don’t act like it and keep your mouth shut.

Welcome to America, where I can act like I know shit and no one can do a damn thing about it!
Also where you can be a total fucking douchebag and no one can stop you either!
You’re right. No one’s stopping you.

Okay, I just really want to know. Why do people automatically assume a picture is photoshopped? Do you really think some geek is going spend hours at a computer doing this? Wouldn’t it be cheaper, quicker, and easier just to use the method photographers have been using since the invention of photography? They used a stuffed bird! Not so difficult really and the talons mean shit when it’s dead. Stick a wire on it’s leg where the camera can’t see and run it down the back of the models head to keep it upright.
It’s a still image, photographers have been using simple tricks like that LONG before computers were ever invented.
“Okay, I just really want to know. Why do people automatically assume a picture is photoshopped?”
With photoshopping ubiquitous on the web, why wouldn’t people automatically assume an implausible picture is photoshopped? It may be “cheaper, quicker, and easier” for a photographer to use the actual stuffed bird at hand, but that ignores the fact that this type of WTF photoshopping is usually done by third parties, not the photographer.
I may easily be wrong about this particular pic, but my assumption is hardly unreasonable.
eagle photo shopped.. tits look real…….
I’m going to stand by “Not ‘Shopped”. I thought it likely at first myself, but examination of the photo points out too many consistencies in the lighting, and other errata such as the folding of the greaves (?) cloth over the model’s face. Also, as has been pointed out, the bird has restraints on its’ legs. Unless you’re dealing with a TRULY inspired (and diabolical) ‘Shopper, you’re not going to see the handler’s leash peeking out from behind the model.
-J
Actually I think the bird is of the stuffed variety. The wing position and tail angle are all wrong for him to be balanced on her head. Meanwhile european photographers in the 70′s and 80′s did use things like sias stuffed animal quite a bit.
Haha, I didn’t read your post before i replied above. Couldn’t agree with you more.
Don’t think they’d put a leash on a dead bird, ya think?
-J
‘Ee’s not dead, gov’ner. He’s… pining for the fjords.
best comment
Photo must be tricked. If you know how sharp those nails are an how much pounds of power/pressure those claws can generate, no sane person would ever want to have such a bird his your head without wearing protection.
But the boobs are very nice, especially WITHOUT protection. !!!
The Eagle is also nice, said the vet.
How does that saying go??? A bird on the head is NOT worth two in the bush — Or something like that.
That is a domesticated eagle. The talons have been groomed accordingly since you can see that one has been groomed back (right above her right eye) and the leashes around its ankles are seen.
That is what I get for knowing about birds of prey.
Anyways, beautiful pic Nick, I just don’t understand what is WTF about it.
At first glance, you’re looking at a half-naked woman, standing on what appears to be a rooftop, with a bird of prey perched on her head.
You, sir, must have been on 4chan way too long if that pic doesn’t register a WTF.
-J
My bad. Those are steps.
Still.
-J
Sorry but I am left sitting here scratching my head and wondering WTF the photographer was trying to say with this picture.
I get half-naked woman or magnificent eagle but together?
Screw the bird-girl, but love the tip on the Nick’s Babe!
What a pleasant and appealing WTF Friday, concentrate on her boobs and the bird becomes irrelevant.
Kinda like a weird Las Vegas showgirl’s headdress, even!
-J
(assuming I didn’t skim past it in error) How did this go all day without a single Tippi Hedren reference?
The Birds
Good one there.
Definitely Phtoshopped, so it needs that tag. With that being said and gotten out of the way, it is a very nice photograph with a wildlife them to it, and it get a thumbs up.
Photoshopped………looks like I need it for my typing.
fastastically random WTF! !!
it popped up and i thot “what the…. oh, friday”
which is nicer than “AAHHHHHHHHH!! omg noooo, curse my eyes, why oh why…oh yeah, friday”
