Let's hope that NK's photoshopping skill has improved this time.:-)

Looks like one of Madame Tussaud’s wax dummies.

The leader of North Korea has come to pay his respects to the master of Sinanju, Chuin.

imho, you are incorrect. the facial expression changes slightly as well as his body position. it’s more likely a body double, or his hands remain in his pockets due to a stroke. again, jmho.

What’s the point of an inspection tour of a factory if one is wearing dark sunglasses indoors?
To: OCC
Somebody may have taken his pictures from varying angles a few seconds apart, while Chia Head is assuming the same posture. That could explain a minute change in his appearance between the two photos (such as slightly different wrinkles on his clothing and minute change of posture.)

You are probably right, but I’m pretty sure that guy in black is a wax dummy... or a cheap mannequin.

Well, the factory looks empty, so that bodes well for it being a legitimate photograph.

Don’t knock Kim Jong Il, he has achieved what the Obama socialists are striving for: probably the greenest country in the world: no coal fired power plants; few gas guzzler cars; except for the leaders, everyone is equal..ly poor; no rotten corporations; few if any obese people; universal healthcare - you get sick, you die.
I imagine Obama wants to learn from Kim and that is why he would meet with him without preconditions.

Can't wait until Obama is touring the new Government Owned Factories and the Official Propaganda Photos are posted on all the Government Owned Buildings and Government Owned Billboards.
Then after we eat our Government Provided Dinner, we can watch the Official Propaganda Videos on the Government Controlled Television Channel.
Life will be GLORIUS in the ObamaNation Comrades!

granted, but in the first picture, the "dear leader" is facing a point of interest directly in front of him. in the second, he looks slightly off to the left.
while i agree simplistic camera effects could be utilized to create this effect, i doubt it.
there don't seem to be any other defects in the pictures (given a rapid going over).
the wrinkle effects are taken from one side (l&r respectively), and have nothing to do with each other, imo.

actually, upon further examination, look at the shadows gained from each individual from each of the two photos. in the first picture, the shadows seem to come from two different light sources (not so unusual for a photo-op). but, the second photo is lacking the "dear leader's" shadow at all.
maybe a wax/double/photoshopped mix?
