You are still full of it. Go on and pretend to be a "graphics" expert, and blow it out your nose. The photo is undoctored only digitized and you can't back up your claims at all.

I would like to see you try. Why don't you illustrate some of the "problems" for us here. Please don't waste our time with your perfectly straight edge "interpretation", that one's been debunked at least twice now.

I love it when people are "experts".

I'm not an image expert nor do I claim to have all the facts about this billboard. However, I do want to give some of my observations about this image. What I see is a sign suspended between two wooden posts. It looks to be about 10 feet wide and six feet tall and the heighth of the sign is about 12 feet. The person looking at the sign is directly under it. With the sign suspended up in the air, wouldn't that make the bottom edge razor straight? Wouldn't this also make the angle of the person's head in the photo correct if he is directly underneath and looking up? The top of the sign appears to be cropped a little for the photo, too.

I'll try this one more time with you.

Whether or not I am an expert is apparently irrelevant to you because you seem unwilling to consider contrary opinions and observations. I will tell you I can be wrong, because this is called photo interpretation. That means you can be wrong too. I can tell you with some authority that this photo appears altered, and thus its AUTHENTICITY can logically be called into question.

No one has "debunked" the straight line issue, only responded with their own interpretation, so hold on to your keyboard. This is a discussion forum. I suggest you track the discussion I had with a FReeper named Truth Addict. (we coverd a lot more issues than just one element in question. Without name calling, we covered this back and forth pretty well, then agreed on where we agree and disagree on interpreting what we see. We both agree the photo has been altered, but disagree on its authenticity. We also BOTH know that without seeing the original photo negative or jpeg, we cannot KNOW.

So go drink a little less coffee and lighten up.

Why don't you tell this forum what you are really angry about. AND get off my a$$.
