I see that point being raised on the blogs. Undoubtedly some in Reuters are asking the same question. I'm sure this story is just beginning for the main stream press.
Can anyone find a decent resolution of the original?
If you can post a link to it I'll touch it up myself and show you that it could be done better by a non-professional.
In addition, I will say that even if the touchup is less obvious visually there are computer algorithms that can spot tampering and I can't imagine someone like Reuters not using this tool.
Something really stinks here, and it's not just the guy accused of tampering with the photo.
