Has anybody blown it up in PS?

Around his entire body and the gun is a weird ‘aura’ of incongruously smaller pixels...some of them uniformly triangular as if the background and layer resolutions don't match.

It's -really- weird looking.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's an extremely recent photo of him 'shopped into a summer background.

I've got a download close to original size, 2000x3000, with the EXIF. It looks clean, no obvious dithering, so he probably actually posed, but it doesn't make him a shooter.

The smoke coming out the vents is odd, should be distributed more, but if it's fake it's a good one.

That was my guess. The Obama / MSM spin machine wanted a pic showing Obama shooting to diffuse / mask his anti-2nd amendment stance. This picture is too perfect. I can almost visualize the checklist that was developed for the picture.

• Summertime backdrop to "prove" he was skeet shooting prior to Obama's statement that he's always skeet shooting at Camp David. CHECK
• Green screen shot of Obama firing gun CHECK
• Multiple pics to capture actual moment of firing of gun CHECK

The background is so devoid of identifying characteristics such as buildings, people, or shadows, that it makes it impossible to place where the picture was shot or when or who else was there to corroborate the picture.
