getting older slowly Posted October 29, 2020 #3 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I agreed..... and the turtle captured the essence of 2020..... he even looks grumpy But you must wonder with the ease of photoshop.... if some people create or capture the photo...... not like the days of film.... Cheers Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you would think it is photo shopped, it is not like the turtle has a finger let alone having it in a forward position to give the bird, just a pic that is interpreted by suggestion.

Sorry Mic I was not trying to infer that this photo was photoshopped But the point was a lot of photos you see on the net... look to good... or some thing unbelievable... So when one does take a remarkable photo.... there is the thought is it real... unlike the days of film where it would not be questioned...

Don True, many have and must be given some doubt but with this one, I have seen turtles in very similar positions and the flipper does seem to point up when turning.

ilikeanswers Posted October 30, 2020 #7 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I remember a website that said one way to know if a photo has been tricked up is to look at the light and shadows. Apparently that is hard to match when photoshoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
