For one thing, it would be a very odd place to put a light on the wall of that hangar. Secondly, why would there be a light on a temporary light stand placed in that spot? It would appear that the stand would have to be a tall one. It seems like if there was such a light stand, you could see a piece of it just past zer0’s throat.

No, this has got to be ‘Shopped. No other rational explanation for the halo to be there. But we ARE talking abouth the Messiah so anything is possible.

I don’t think you’d get a halo from a light at that distance unless the air is smoky or dusty.

When you block a light, you can see the scattered light coming from the cone of particulates in the light’s path (scattering prefers low angles).

If you block the Sun with a street sign or overhead light, you get a halo, but blocking a floodlight outdoors at night you usually won’t unless the light is far away, and there’s an aerosol.

Zoom in on The One’s face, there are saturated pixels under his eye.

Plus, as many have pointed out, where is the light? It is not on a stand or we’d see it, not dangling from a cord. It looks like the light is mounted away from a beam, in the middle of the insulation.

I’m leaning toward a PS job, but done more or less innocently to better define his head against a background.

Oops, I just found a Boston Glob picture with TWO big lights, one making the One’s Halo and one merely glaring:

The detail is good enough to see spittle flying. These look like stage lights fairly close, and the “halo” is not as pronounced.

This shot shows no lights on the walls. A truss in the back, looks like follow spots, and the hangar lights on the ceiling.

“...Look closely around his eyes and on his forehead. You see white....”

Thankfully, as Zero's popularity fades, the pings for zero worship have become infrequent. Nevertheless, halo photoshopping is over the top.

Zeroism Ping List Because morons like Zero should not be worshipped! "I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody." —Zero "Americans are clinging to guns, religion and anti-immigration sentiment because they are bitter about Washington's unfulfilled economic promises." —Zero "I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth." —Zero "At some point in the evening, a light is going to shine down and you will have an epiphany and you’ll say, ‘I have to vote for Barack.’" —Zero FR Keywords: zeroism, zeroworship, messiah, totusworship Please tag all relevant threads with the aforementioned keywords. To join the ping list: FReepmail 50mm with the subject line: add zero. (Stop getting pings by sending the subject line: drop zero.)

He’s such an airhead.

Photoshopped or there are a million tiny bugs flying around his head. The ‘light’ is very pixelated, almost like it was done at a lower resolution to the point that it appears dotted where the same white color in other areas of photo doesn’t. In Photoshop go to Image > Adjustments > Invert and it really jumps out to you. You can also see where the outline around his head was drawn.

Looks like he has an ozone leak in his head .

[mnehring]

Color inverted, obvious manipulation stands out.

[longfellow]

he’s perfect for their needs, it made it easy to fill his head w/ such communist crap.

It is a clear photoshop. The halo does not extend to the collar.

[Auntie Mame]

Holy cow.

I did a “Bush halo” search and there were a lot of hits there, too (although fewer than Obama), but they all seem to be mostly the same couple of pictures.

[Auntie Mame]

LOL!
