Re: Eye of the Beholder

It looks staged to me. Several things aren't right. It is a non-standard size. Any properties have been removed, was that you?. Either the original photo was taken at an angle or it has been rotated to make that centre sign post straight (but that has put the angle of the trees out). None of the characters in the photo seem related with no interaction between them.

The quality is very poor for a real camera. The industry standard for photographs is typically 300dpi, that image is only 144dpi, so was it deliberately compressed for use on the web?

Going by the angle of the trees, I'd say this makes it look a bit more normal.

So, where did you get the photo? What's all the mystery... Spill the beans!

Re: Eye of the Beholder

It looks just like a snapshot in a park. Quite unremarkable really.

Re: Eye of the Beholder

My two pence worth is a fake and the three foreground figures have nothing to do with one another and have been pasted on to the original picture, bit like this below as it is only the fireman and me that are actually true.

As EBJ said the 3 figures in the foreground have been added

Re: Eye of the Beholder

looks fine to me.

It's not an interesting picture and the resolution is so poor there's nothing suspicious to be found because of the compression.

A shot that is so dull & uninspired that it could have been taken by me.

Re: Eye of the Beholder

The only crime i can see is the lady is wearing double denim..!! I mean who does that outside the 80’s [Scared.png]
But saying that, the 3 foreground figures look out out of place IF this is meant to be a modern photo ? The clothing looks very dated.

Re: Eye of the Beholder

It's a spot the ball competition, but the ball is in the wrong place. The kid could quite easily have been kicking that ball, but as it is, it will probably hit him square in the face!

The 3 people don't look right, neither does the post, and I'd go as far as saying the post has been photoshopped in as well. Actually compared to the rest of the picture, those 3 and the post look like they're in focus TOO much compared to the rest of the picture.

There's also a runner in the background that looks a bit suspect....
