Seems an odd place to put a light.

Odd, but I’d guess there is a window behind his head. The lighting looks credible. The composition looks contrived. Photoshopping a halo like that is not as easy as it might seem. It looks very authentic.

The only issue is the WH selecting photos with halos.

Did you notice the halo around Ted Kennedy’s head during the death week?

as tawana brawley would say “it was manipsulated”
As a photoshop artist i can say it is a fake.
if it were real you would see the light coming through his ear from the other side.

That's exactly what I thought.

Airplane hangers don't have lights there. They aren't wired with power at that location.

If there was really a light there, it was put up especially for this occasion. And the photographer specifically positioned the camera, knowing that this effect would occur.

This is propaganda that would make Goebbels proud.

That’s what struck me as odd about it. Also I would expect the light to by mounted on the beam rather than in the center of the panel.

its photoshopped - at least parts of it are..there are white areas on his forehead and under his eye..like a stray mark that shouldn’t be there as they were creating the photo.

It is insane of them to allow that photograph to be posted to the White House website.
They are absolutely out-of-their-minds nuts.

Considering there are no supporting poles, wires, stands, etc for a light source, one can only conclude the halo was photoshopped. The halo is just too perfectly placed to be real.

I've been in MANY airplane hangars ...

On the wall there is a hugely unlikely place for a light of any kind. Just doesn't make any sense.

Photoshop job, sez I.
