Why is it that if it's interesting or good or well done, some idiot will come along and say "photodshopped"? As some kind of accusation of phoniness? Get real darlin, not all is done in editing but some things that are worth a second look are actually real. And this is whimsical, not hard to do in reality at all and i seriously doubt that it's "shopped".

Oh, I thought it was quite well done. No need to photoshop some sculptor probably got paid a lot to do that.

Photoshopped my ass. Some people can be clever without having to cheat. Try it sometime.

Trying to be cynical and blase and worldly, are you? You failed miserably. Get out of grammar school first.

As for the lady with the leaves, I suspect a truck with a scoop or some kind of grabber comes around periodically to pick those piles up. She only HAD to move them a few feet. YOU probably would have raked them all the way to the dump.

If you look at the shadows closely you will see that they do not match with the statue. There are like some stars or somethin coming out of the dudes hand.

And in the first picture there are some letters just floating in mid air.

I agree that it may have been photoshopped.

edit - remove - report - save #16 - by Anonymous Sep 24, 2008

its definately not photoshopped, what would be the point, the effort is in the idea and whether or not you perform the process in reality or on a computer, you have still performed the creation of the idea. there is no need to photoshop it. the pixels have bunched like that due to the jpeg format of the picture. if you look around they have collected and bunched sharply like that around the sculpture, the tree leaves, everything that is flatter, sharper and less blended.

u guys are douchebags, there is no need to photoshop something that doesnt need photoshopping

Haha you guys argue over the stupidest stuff.

It's photshoped.

Not that it matters anyways lol.

If you aren't experienced enough to see all the pixels in the picture, and deduce from that - that it is photoshoped...

Then just look at the shadows. No matter how strong the light, the farther an object is away from it's shadow, the weaker the shadow.

In the picture, not only is the statue's shadow off center from where it should be... but it is just as dark and deep as the tree's. That's not possible because remember how distance and light affect a shadow? How then, can both trees (which are at the most a foot or two away from the wall) be the same consistency as the statue.

I loved 28's comment though, lighten up for real - and go get a life so I can stop interjecting and get on with mine - thanks =]

America's retard is aptly named. For one, not only is the tree negligibly closer to the wall, the statue's shadow is softer. Put on your glasses. Also, there is nothing wrong with the location of the statue's shadow.

It is not photoshopped. It is real. It doesn't need to be photoshopped. The statue is called The Seeder and it is done by the conceptual artist by the name of Morfai. He has other works as well. I imagine some of you skeptics would think it was photoshopped if you were standing right in front of it.

Seriosly the concept and idea is lost over the whole thing- because all you are doing now is arguing over it being real or fake. The artist did it to say something. not wage a lame war on the internet. this happens all too often- you guys- i have an opinion of what it is and i refuse to say it just because i don't want to be another wasted viewer.

looks to me like a the photographer couldn't get the image they wanted to, i.e they sucked at low light photography. So they really badly shopped the shadows and a fake light source.

I really loved the shopped or not argument, thought that too many folks were in on the joke for it to elicit such fury anymore. Yes it's trollish and adolescent to provoke folks that way, but somehow nothing is funnier than self-righteous anger from the one person who doesn't get the hoax.
As for the statue, kinda cool in a "15 second stumble on the internet" way, but certainly not anything that is enhanced by having people say "Wow, that's really cool." But good work. Even though it's photoshopped.

Blimey can't believe how many nasty people there are out there. What it if is photoshopped, photoshopping is a skill!! That not every nerd can do! Plus hasn't it anyone realised that the original sculptor probably had the idea of sprinkling the stars, it appears to me to be the coming together of the sculpture and its surrounds. The photographer (i believe you didn't photoshop it) simply captured what the original artist wanted to convey!
As for pixels..... it is very hard to tell a photoshopped image from a jpeg when it is put online as the jpeg mularky will do allsorts of damage making it appear as dodgy montage work. You shouldn't judge what you don't see an original file of unless it is a really really obvious kiddies type of montage.

There are no pixels there, only shadows of pixels. And it is not a real statue, but a print of a statue made in Photoshop and pasted onto a cardboard cutout and placed there in real life.
And the light source is not real either it was probably faxed in from another location.

I think this has been mentioned(momentarily) but the second picture is taken a few feet away from where the first was.
So if you see something "off" it could be because of that distance.

edit - remove - report - save #146 - by Anonymous Oct 10, 2008

The picture is real, the shadows are right, the reason it looks blurred on the edge is from the light source having two points of origin (car headlights) The points are close together, but if they were further apart there would be two shadows of the insensity of the blur section (i.e. grey). I have a degree in this nonsense, but that doesn't change the internet, so I must also say photoshopped. While nothing has changed but the size of the photo, the purists amoung use would say that only a negative is the truth captured and any enlargement or cropping takes from the scene and would be considered a after thought to correct an artists lack of skill with a camera.

Of course I am sure that someone with no talent other than arguing on the internet could dispute this, but I would love to see a photographer weigh in.

Being stupid and talking out of your ass does not make you an legitimate expert. I appreciate the humor and love to destroy the beauty and art in the world with a few words of cynicism, but at some point it just becomes silly. I tell people that they suck all the time. Because they do.

IT IS NOT PHOTOSHOPPED. You internet kids you look unreal. You base your affirmations on illogical parameters. I have seen pictures that had bad pixels. It is called a bad camera. Check the shadow in the second image. You can tell it was not the image of the guy tilted. If it would be photoshoped the guy who did it would have come to take a different perspective picture of the stature because in the SHADOW there is GAP between the STRIP and the ARM. Which means that either he took a different pic from a diffferent perspective just to go home and PS it or it is real. Or, he was so good at PS that he took the statue, turned it black and redraw that detail. Which it is hard to believe.
There is GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY and there are INTERNET KIDS from a trash culture who believe that their reality is a FAKE. Go and watch more Cartoon Network or whatever you kids watch these days.

I don't think it's photoshopped because:
1. no need to photoshop... only need one light
2. if it's photoshopped is a good work, because he must take photo from another point of view (in shadow there's light between legs, in real pictures cannot see two legs separatly)
3. shadow it's not exactly but it's smooth depending the size of light source and distance from light, the man and the wall. this is why trees's shadow it's exactly and the man it's smooth: the man it's more far form the wall than the trees.
4. I guess the sculptor build this effect appositly, it's a really poetic message
