Does this image look photochopped to you?

the shadow looks suspicious...but thats what a flash does...***** everything up. id say its real.
 
Well, if you look at the cap of the guy in front, there is a shadow of the forearm but not of the arm.
 
what it looks like to me is that his arm is casting a shawdow on the guy infront of him, but only his upper arm because there is something to cast a shadow on, once you go above the guys head there isn't anything close enough to cast a shadow of his lower arm on... I think that it's real

I think that it's a really cool pic if you ask me :cool:

dino, I have a question for YOU.....Why do you wonder if this image is Photoshopped or not? Is one of the people in this pic saying they were at this concert and you think they weren't?

oh and to answer your question....the pic looks real. I can't see any of the obvious signs of a shop job. SO, if this is an altered image....its a good one.
 
ive decided that this image is CHOPPED.

if you look at the shadow of his arm (which was suspicious inthe first place), it seems as if the light origin is coming from directly behind him off to the right a bit.. ok NO problem withthat...it could have happened. but if that was the case, the shadow of his forearm would be on the guys hat in front of him. to add to this, the shadow produced seems as if it was a shadow projected onto a FLAT surface. and unless that guy in front of him was a cardboard cutout, the shadow shouldntl ook that way.

or maybe flashes just do odd things.
 
sorry, but that's fake. Look in the center of the left, there's a little reflection of a hear hanging out right next to the guy's ear which doesn't show no body and also all the way to the right there's supposely a pic of somebody with a white shirt but nobody is there.
 
All I am saying is that you can't cast a shadow on something that is just as dark, which would be the reason why there isn't a shadow on his hat...

the EAR you see is from the guy in front of him wearing the off white/greyish t-shirt.....the person wearing the t-shirt off to the right is there...you just can't see the rest of him since he is in the dark and the shirt just reflected JUST enough light to show up.....
 
I know nothing of photoshopping pictures...but I too am totally curious as why you want to know?

I'll tell you in time...
 
Definitely photochopped. Let's think how shadows work. The shadow cast on a guy five or so feet in front of him is going to be larger than the actual object. It's the EXACT same size, with the EXACT same detail on the guy in front of him. This made me think that he created a black matte of himself (the guy in the white) moved it up a little, and thus cast a "shadow" on the shirt in front of him. The comment about the guys back not being a board is also correct, the shadow would warp. Secondly, the guy is casting shadow on both sides of himself (as if he made a matte and moved it). Most of us mortals here on earth cast shadow to only one side. And the direction of the light (pushing his shadow to the left) and the camera angle (behind and aiming slightly to the right) dont match.
But I must say, that is an excellent job.

Or maybe i'm full of it, and the flash has indeed done something strange.

not necessarily true.....you and everyone else on this planet...and every other planet for that matter will cast as many shadows as there are light sources....if you have three light sources...or two, or a hundred.....you can cast that many different shadows....it depends on if one sight source over powers the other or if where the shadow is cast is dark enough or lacking the light to enable you to see the shadow. and considering the area where those guys are standing is pretty dark....if there were multiple lightsorces then you could easily have multible shadows from the same object. Does that make sence? in case its about as clear as mud to you what I described...see the attached picture.....its of my hand ...and its casting TWO SHADOWS since there are TWO light sources.... :{D

TWO shadows from ONE hand? You MUST be a magician! Or a great photochopper. Hehe, no I agree with you tho...shadow number=light source number. I figured that out when I was 10 and i was casting 5 shadows at once. :-)
