Fake Picture Contest

In honor of wildlife photographer Terje Helleso, the Fake Photo Contest. The rules are simple: Provide a photo, clearly Photoshopped, of an animal in an environment clearly not its own.

We may not know why Mr. Helleso elected to falsify photographs, but we can poke fun at the ethical lapse.

For my entry, I often take hikes in the Bay Area's many parks. On some hikes, I see rare, unusual wildlife not often photographed. On a recent expedition, peeking behind a tree, TENDERHEART BEAR! Leader of the Care Bears himself.

This one I sold a tent and tried to illustrate how big it is.

Why would you do that instead of writing the height at the entrance?

Because I didn't recognize it myself. Tent height 2 meters, ok nice - one can stand in it. Not that you can run small circus in it. Smile

I wish I could take credit for this thread idea. But I can't.

Anyway, I found an interesting sight in one of my photographs from downtown San Francisco. I often take hikes in San Francisco. On some hikes I see familiar people. During my Kodachrome experiement, I captured a photo of the Hobart Building and when looking at it closely, at 100%, I saw him, the rare, elusive, LUIS ALEGRIA staring down at me from the Hobart Building. Check out the photo:
