'Gaza Burial' Photoshopped? World Press Photo Award Winner Was Doctored, Expert Says

Swedish photographer Paul Hansen's photo "Gaza Burial" took top honors when the World Press Photo awards were announced Friday, but now critics are claiming that the powerful image was overly manipulated.

As ExtremeTech notes, forensic image analyst Dr. Neal Krawetz pointed out that Hansen's photo may be a composite spliced from three separate images and edited shortly before the contest deadline in January.

"I cannot tell you about the original picture(s), but I can tell you that the controversial picture is definitely not original. Moreover, it appears to have been modified specifically for this contest," Krawetz, who holds a doctorate in computer science and specializes in computer forensic research, wrote on his blog.

As Der Spiegel points out, post-processing of digital imagery has stoked controversy as critics "fear that the boundaries are becoming blurred between journalistic photography... and artistic and commercial image design."

The news outlet also alludes to a political dimension behind the criticism, voiced by pro-Israel blogosphere, as Hansen's submission shows two of the casualties of Israeli retaliation to Palestinian rocket fire last November.

well ITS ART------the artist expressed himself-----he
revealed his soul. Michelangelo reveales his
soul in the Sistine chapel drawings and paintings---
SUBLIME

Paul Hansen sought to reveal his soul too-----
???? filthy liar???? Not necessarily
Some art has hidden meaning----that comes
thru centuries later as if IN CODE-----maybe
Hansen is just trying to demonstrate that the
whole Jenin story was an IDIOTIC FRAUD?

Personally, I think these Pallywood artists are wasting their talent, if they take their artistry to Hollywood, they would make some serious money creating fake scenes for movies.
