Road Cycling - Real photo or fake- what do you think ??

Everything looks real ,in particular the reflection of the rider
in the window, but checkout the chainrings, appear on the left
handside of the frame.
What do you think ?

It doesn't look anything like a real photo.

Look at the halos around his feet.

Look at the perspective point, it's all wrong.

the feet do look suspicious....

Looks like Photoshop to me...

As do the cars in the reflection that look like they're pulled right up to the window they're reflecting off. And it looks like they should be in the picture, too, since they're close to the rider.

Pretty nice photoshop job, though.

Why isn't the back wheel spinning? Why is the rider going over the handlebars when the fork hasn't augered in? The reflection is a nice touch, but look at the legs. The left leg is in front, same as the "real" rider. The right leg should be in the front of the reflection.

It's a clever fake, but still a fake.

Whats the deal with the chainrings
how could it be on the left handside of the frame ?????

maybe it's british.

Yeah but still the cassette is on the right handside
Impossible.

The Jackass probably reversed the neg when he scanned it and it's definitely a BAD photoshop job...

Yeah, notice that the chain does not have any flex either.

the bike looks like a toy. what is that white vertical line in the window? why are all the reflections of cars a front view? shouldn't there be some side views? was this guy was riding without cleats? those look like high top basketball shoes. And the guy looks too big for the bike.

Forks still look good,fake.

Obviously, it's fake as the knees are in stress,
holding the rest of the (heavy) body up from ...
probably chains or rope holding the feet up from
a ceiling that's been removed from the picture.

The reflection in the background (glass window)
was a nice addition to the forgery ...however,
the fact that the cyclist is vertical, and really
looks immobilized can only mean that he was hanging
from a ceiling originally ...

The white line in the window was added to hide the normal green window frame which cuts the reflection in half (which if left, would have screwed the shot).

Look at the bike..... Its a 1/10 scale model bike.

Nope, the sign on the store reads correctly..but I agree, amateur Photochop :p

They are all on the right :rolleyes:

A Photoshop Hack Job, that.

i wish i could find that photo of the guy eating it on a track after his front wheel folded...that's a great picture.

where'd this photo come from? I just noticed that I know where this is....right here in Portland, OR

I was talking about the neg when he sandwiched the two pix...the scanned neg for the bike is probably reversed.

Obviously, it's at least 2 pix put together into one frame in Photoshop.

Looks like his hands are the wrong way as well.
