How photoshopped is this pic?

[Ruptga]

While some pics are so well done that they look fake (ie it all looks too real), it's questionable. It could be real, but without a link to something official and credible to prove it, I'm not going to put faith in it.

The rear tire isn't busted, but if the front of the vehicle was firebombed and it then spread, that's at least a little plausible.

The tree is on fire yet the guy can get close to the truck. The guy's collar is turned up, like he's shielding himself from the heat, but still he'd have to be pretty determined.

The guy is too well focused, too sharp, but then again it could be a really good photographer with a camera and lens that's worth more than the average college tuition.

If there's a rapidly spreading fire you're trying to take care of, how concered are you going to be about shedding your clothes? When it's probably a better idea to leave them on to avoid burns, unless you're going INTO the fire, which you wouldn't do anyway.

How many naked firemen have you seen?

That wasn't in a porno?

Didn't think so.

The whole thing just looks really put together for something presented as a news photo.


Here is the caption it had :

A palestinian man tries to put out burning vehicles set on fire during clashes with Hamas militiamen.

what is the original URL? Source please!

I just got the picture from a local radio station website. Looks like they just put up some stock wire photos for the site visitors.

The shadows seem strangely angled to me.

I don't think that man REALLY has a beard.

I am gonna go with not photoshopped. That picture is cropped. I would have to see the whole photo.

It's fake. Look at the side of the fire extinguisher that is closest to his body. See the white line that runs the length of it? Also look at his coat. on his back the coat has a black line that seperates it from the truck. He is obviously pasted into the picture.

Upon further examination, I'm almost sure the guy is Sahid from Lost with a beard pasted on.
