I've pointed this out before when it was reported that some of the photographers who sell their pictures to the AP...etc....were editing them to give different impressions than what the REAL photo originally showed.
Here is but another case of that happening. AND another reason why we, as readers/viewers just CAN'T always take/believe what we read or see.
And as some here are always using the so called 'credentials' of their sources.....it also appears their credentials don't mean jack when it comes to their personal intergrity.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -
A photographer for The Blade who digitally changed a front-page photo of an Ohio baseball team also altered 57 other pictures that were published in the newspaper or on its Web site this year, the newspaper said Sunday.
Allan Detrich, a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 1998, erased people, tree limbs and utility poles from some of his photos, Ron Royhab, The Blade's vice president and executive editor, said in a column.
After reviewing Detrich's work, the newspaper said it found that 79 of the 947 photos he submitted since Jan. 1 had been altered.

"It is impossible to make sense of why this happened, and we are embarrassed by it," Royhab wrote, apologizing to readers in the column.
