AP Doctors a photo of Palin?

The Washington Times ^ | 2009 | Chris Miller

[Minion]

Maybe a little too red on the eyes Chris.

The photo is from 2009 and comes from Chris Miller of the AP.

I could be wrong on this, but I know Photoshop and that adjustment would not be hard.

If true would just be another indication of how reckless and out of hand the AP still is.

[KansasGirl]

I think her glasses look very nice on her and fit her face well.

[jazusamo]

Huh what?

I didn’t say it was an ugly pic of her, did you read and understand my post?

[Mr_Moonlight]

Geez...I don’t see an issue....

Nor do I ..what is the gist of this? That AP either added or subtracted red-eye from the photo? I don't see any problem with the photo, for or against

[SolidWood]

Blood shot eyes are the result of stress, hard works, short nights... I guess Sarah had all of that often enough a Mom and Governor.

Also her eyes have that slight gaze. It's noticeable on many photos. It's very very cute IMO.

[fanfan]

I looked at other pics too, and you’re right. I hadn’t noticed it before.

[ConservativeColumns]

I wonder why she doesn’t try contacts? Or Lasik, for that matter.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Maybe because of the shape of her eyeballs or the possibility that she has some other reason that Lasik can’t be performed. You don’t simply “try” surgery. I’ve been examined for both contacts and laser surgery and was not a candidate for either.

[beebuster2000]

what exactly is wrong with it?

[Minion]

Like I said “I could be wrong”. Its just funny that she looks like she’s been drinking all night. Doesn’t anyone remember the PS tricks they pulled with condolezza’s photos?

[jakerobins]

Wouldn’t put it past them...I still remember the picture of Rush Limbaugh that tried to make him look like he was evil incarnate. Luckily the Libs need no such photoshopping the look naturally goofy or evil....LOL

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Does anyone else see a hammer-and-sickle pattern to the earring? I’m not saying it is, or that’s where her sympathies, lie, just commenting on the shape.

[boatbums]

I think she uses her glasses because:

1. they’d say she was too pretty if she didn’t and then would write her off as a bimbo.

2. she needs them to see clearly and doesn’t like contacts.

3. the glasses give her some visual ‘gravitas’ (see #1).

I’m going with #2 but she probably would be attacked as too pretty if she didn’t have them.

IMHO

[Two Kids' Dad]

I seem to recall having seen that pic before - or one very similar to it - and didn’t notice the red eyes. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to find out they doctored it.

OFGS! I see a stylized, running canine. Wolf, possibly native craft.

[Vendome]

You’re kidding right? /s

She has a very nice frame

[SolidWood]

I understand that you weren’t saying it’s ugly... I just didn’t get the “below eye line” thing...

[atomic conspiracy]

Nah, much too subtle. It would take something more like this to accurately reflect the AP's biases:

[HereInTheHeartland]

What did they change?
