Would someone mind running a PS check on it(take the pic down to 8 bit paletized, then randomize the palets; word is that this will enhance any flaws from a PS job by making the colors contrast more).

I was going to post this, and then decided to do a search.. lol

Well.. LMAO..... I mean.. It's not funny.. but you've gotta get them credit...

I dunno. It doesen't seem to take much of a stretch to think it could be real, it's only a big sand castle afterall. lol.. The 2nd dude from the far right looks like he's looking at it. Anybody else confirm/deny its real?


<< perhaps they were building it as a monument to those who died. >>



Yeah.... Right. :Q lol..

the most glaring is the fact that the people in it aren't arabs,they're hindu. the women aren't wearing burkhas, and hindu men, namely sikhs, wear turbans like that, which, incidentally, we're banned by the taliban.

I _think_.

It's fake. I opened it in Photoshop, and if you look, there's like a pixelated "noisy" glow around all the people, yet NOT around the sandcastle in most parts. The people were chopped from another picture and pasted onto this. :)

<< Definately Photoshopped.

Mother of All Photoshop

Check out the gradient in the sky around the tower. The tower was obviously added in and the edges blended in the sky.

Who's right?

Who's right? I don't know that it's me, but you can open my file and draw your own conclusion.

McPhreak:

The tower is fake...but it's hard to tell about the rest of it. If you look, the sand changes tones in several places to a much lighter tone, with perfectly square edges.

The tower is easiest to ID as fake because it is against the white backround rather than the people. I'll take a longer look at it...
