Photoshop or real?

[onearmedbandit]

Tell me what you think.

[mashman]

real with a hint of surrealism

[Grubber]

Real! the shadows are all in the right places.

[avgas]

take that paparazzi!

[MSTRS:Me]

Something is not right...look at the top of the wings on the parked plane. Why are they in shadow? The sun is low, but not that low.

Where's the next pic?

Yeah. That part of the image musta been put in afterwards...

Photoshop. The airfield is in the US but only three of the four people are overweight.

And although they are fat bastards they are much further into running mode than they would be if the plane has just tipped. I mean, the middle guy has even turned around to rescue his donuts. Reaction time isn't that good when natural instinct would be to stop and stare, at least until you comprehend what is going to happen.

Unsure .. something doesn't quite look right ... the plane doesn't quite sit in the picture properly ... not sure why ... possibly it has been pasted in from a pix with different colour saturation .. which is why MSTRS thinks the shadows are wrong ...

But I could easily be convinced it's real ...

When you zoom right in, the anti-aliasing around the subject plane's tail and left wing doesn't look quite right, but that could just be elements from jpeg compression as the image is low res.
The shadows are quite long, I think the Cessna's wings could conceivably be in shadow without any image manipulation.

The pic is real alright, well from what I can tell. The pilot is Jack Roush, a NASCAR team owner. It's his second crash in 8yrs, and the jokes are abound about him failing to take a right hand turn. It was at an airshow when according to Jack his flight path conflicted with another plane and he had to take action. Lost his left eye too.

The fatty is portraited "running".

Yep, it's photoshop'd

[Berries]

I have changed my mind, it is real.

If you use a few CSI techniques to deal with the image compression and zoom right in you can see that there are no passengers, just the pilot. Fat American. It probably flies like that all the time. QED.
