maltsr Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Is that a headless person walking by in the blue coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91blaze Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Is that a headless person walking by in the blue coat? Looks like someone shopped it a bit (guessing Harry's doing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Looks like someone shopped it a bit (guessing Harry's doing). I guess you're right but why would someone's head give a clue as to the identity of the car? I'd like to think the guy in the coat is walking to his chopped and channelled Merc parked up the road... - just stooping a little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I don't know why I have to repeat it, except for new members, that Harry NEVER retouches anything from his source except to remove identifying badging and scripts. Otherwise, his examples are the way he found them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, his examples are the way he found them. Correct. What would be the point of me altering the image? The only changes I ever make is to either resize or crop the image when necessary, and sometimes I'll fix the color balance or sharpen the image a bit... but I don't change or alter or add or delete anything that wasn't there in the photo as I found it, aside from blurring or blacking out any identifying badges or logos or license plates.

Alright, since you all insist on making a deal out of it, I will explain. Through a little research I had found the true "original" of this image and it did not have a headless person in it. That's why I suggested maybe Harry did it, perhaps because of an identifiable person or whatever, I don't know. Skip, Harry very well could have shopped it for the this reason, so no need to be rude. I for one don't recall your post about Harry retouching images, and I've been around long enough to not be "new". After your post I did a little more searching and found that somebody along the line did indeed do a little shopping to the picture. Not Harry, but it has been messed with. So to answer your question "What would be the point of me altering the image." there's your answer. My bad for thinking I could suggest something so harmless without making someone upset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I don't see that my comment was rude, but I apologize if it came across that way. Certainly not intended that way. Anyway, I also found the original photo, which has a caption identifying the person who retouched the headless man, etc. Not Harry.

Harry P. Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yes, this is the image as I found it. Somebody Photoshopped it, but not me. In fact I didn't even notice the headless guy until it was pointed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still there, but depends on how long you haven't seen it for, you well might not recognise it, the fountain is long gone and a Costa coffee house has taken it's place .....
