    Default Fake!

    I was looking at some pics yesterday with my wife, and she commented that this pic looked fake even though it is only has one minor local clone adjustment and no colour/tone adjustments. Similarly, many of our friends thought the same of our wedding photos or thought that they were shot in a studio.
    So I was wondering what other photos people have taken that have been incorrectly accused of being fake or overly PPed? Post them here, I'd love to see them.

    I don't think I have any in that category but I can certainly understand how someone could think this one is a fake. It's a great shot but the way the flash was used to make the subject pop makes it look as though the subject has popped off the sky which looks like a backdrop instead of the real thing.

    It's nice flash work. Enough to light him but still left shadows.

    Ha, it's 1AM for me right now and I'm cramming for my Stats exam that I have in two days :( Thought I'd contribute ....

    A couple friends of mine said this looked fake, I'm not sure why.

    I've got it! Pictures with clouds look fake.

    I think it is the apparent distance from the clouds and the closeness of the shadows to the clouds?
