Just for discussion; Appears as though he is wearing something, perhaps of different material, draped over his shoulders. I think I can make out what MIGHT be an elbow "bump" near the bottom of a very full sleeve and in a "possibly" logical position.(??) All very murky and, maybe, for good reason.

The sleeve is clearly a different material than the rest of the outer garment. Could be a different garment under a cloak? Nope, because it extends outside the cloak (or whatever it is) at bottom left. And try drawing a mental picture (or a physical one, in Photoshop) of how that arm is positioned. Where's his elbow? You'll find no remotely plausible location for his elbow, given the angle of his arm. I just loaded the image into Photoshop and brightened it up with Curves. It's even more obviously a ghastly fake. >On Mar 27, 2014, at 12:51 PM, Mark Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Have a look: >> http://petapixel.com/2014/03/18/hipa-grand-prize-winner-looks-like-may-big-photoshop-fail/ >> >> I'm just about to head off to class but to me this looks like a >> photoshop fake that one of my students would do (not very good, that >> is). >> >> >> -- >> PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List >> [email protected] >> http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net >> to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and >> follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
