Yes
There have been a few threads about when and when not to use digital manipulation over the last few weeks in particular, but I think this is not the time to use it. ;)
 
Not the first - and will certainly not be the last as now anyone can do it with free software off t'interweb ;)
 
Well that's morally wrong rather than just going too far. Personally I dont see an issue with photoshop when editing photos. When painting, artists would modify the scene they see and call it 'artistic licence' but when its a photo its frowned upon?!

I think photoshop is a legitimate tool for creating that perfect image.
 
People like this make me really despair. Forget that he clearly has no moral fibre, forget that he's clearly a pathetic scum bag - it's the fact that he thought he could pass off a very specific stock image of a rare animal as his own and not get caught.

Is it me or are people getting dumber?
 
Those are so OBVIOUSLY faked, how on Earth did he get away with that?
 
Then there was Time magazine's infamous manipulation of O.J. Simpson's mugshot...

Morally wrong, but it happened in the film days too. I remember a scandal during one of the Afga wildlife photography competitions in South Africa when the organisers discovered that a winning entry - mongoose and snake - was faked. The animals were dead and posed.
