Funny that the print version has been photoshopped to move the vapour closer to the beak.

The print is a different picture from the one in the submitted article. That looks like it could be a different angle (90deg) of the bird on the same burnt stump.

Interesting. Apparently the photo from the article is "Voice of the ash forest" (https://www.maximelegarevezina.com/en/tirage-voix-de-la-for%...) and the one linked above is "Keeper of the Ashes."

These are professional artists. Selling prints is a major income stream. It seems pretty normal to me.
