I've never understood the photoshop claims.
"Why aren't the props moving?" You mean, besides the fact that it's a still image? A quick enough shutter speed is all that's needed to halt props. But then, as others noted, the raptors talons / legs are enough to stop them. They could do damage to the birds, but they would be trained to do so anyways in cases where the drones are flying in sensitive areas (I saw the notes that this program has been halted).
Also, looking at the shadows and all, it would be a bit of work to photoshop this to make it look as good as it does (even if you think it looks fake). Wouldn't it be easier to just train a bird to pick up a drone (with motors not running) sitting on a tree stump and take it a few feed up into the air?
I'm with Yooper : I still get nervous when I see a big bird take interest in me. This happened to me with a full-grown bald eagle last week.
