Thread: Photo shopped or not?

Altered image ... sure ... 99.999999999999999999%

I did a thread on TVF about 'naked images' ... photos taken, cropped and naked of any other retouches.
Went down like a lead balloon ... no-one is interested.

So, to the image ...

In a pond, and we are surrounded by them, if there are ripples by the waters edge, they are larger in the center of the pond.
This occurs to the height of the bank shielding the pond from the wind.

Here the ripples are by the edge and nothing in the middle ... highly unlikely ... it's been retouched, 99% sure.

Also, with no ripples, there would be a mirror reflection off the pond ... and there isn't.

Look at the building on the right, according to the other shadows (look at the palms on the left hand shore), that building should be shaded.
But it's not. It's been infilled with mid-tone lighting and the contrast dramatically increased ... hence the clean, yet aged look.

I'd also bet your balls (not mine) that those birds, which are perfectly positioned haven been dropped into the image after it was captured.

Feel free to copy and paste my analysis, in part, or in full.

Exif and image data can tell if an image has been edited, but not how much.

You'll need to look closer at the image to decide how much it has been edited.
