Why do you think that?

Because it looks to bright, it's clean, it isn't compressed at the end and the smoke looks suspiciously like it was done with a standard airbrush tip with low opacity and density.

I think fill flash would make the white cigarette very bright, highlight the smoke and account for the lack of shadows.

I think thats a more likely explaination than somebody going through the trouble of adding a fake cigarette.

I think they photoshopped out the Joint and put a Ciggarett there instead...

Semper Fi!

Thanks for your thoughts, I'm sure they mean something to someone.

And you go on thinking that people just go around putting fake cigarettes into the mouths of marines in combat...

Or is cheap attempt at insults all you got...

Looks photoshopped because his real dirty and the cig is real clean. Put something new and clean in a pile of garbage and see what it looks like. And even if it is so what ?

AKWulfe,
This picture is from the Photo Essay:Storming Fallujah, at Fox News website. You really think they've got the time to photoshop it?

If it were an insult, believe me - it would have been better. Fact is, all you had were "I thinks".

Well, gee Ripsnort - I kind of thought that they would do the photoshopping here in the US, you know... where they have the time.

Dumb****.

My explaination logically accounts for most of the factors of the picture. The simplest answer is the most likely, what we see are the effects of fill flash metered for the soldiers dark face. The bright white cigarette is overexposed and detail is lost, the smoke is oddly highlighted and there is a lack of shadows on the face.

On the other hand we have your theory that the whole picture was photoshopped and airbrushed to add a fake cigrette and smoke.

No wonder you resort to weak comebacks or insults...

My first tought before reading any of the replys whas, **** this is photoshopped.

Who the **** cares if it's photoshoped or not beside the two of you.

I don't Pugg, I just stated it looked photoshopped. Grunherz apparently think it's worth his time to change what I think it looked like.

I'm going to get drunk and have fun, he can have fun convincing himself of his theories.
