Brother Infinity said...: yes, you should take down this post because the seated person's head is immediately noticeable on any cursory inspection.; March 6, 2008 6:05 PM

Without head is easy; March 7, 2008 5:43 AM
ungeziefer said...: As everyone else has already pointed out, there's nothing wrong with this image -- his head is behind the guy's shoe.; March 8, 2008 6:14 AM

There's a discussion about this on SportsShooter:

lorrwill said...: um okay thanks for explaining how this error occurred in the first place. I couldn't figure out how you would do this with layers and leave what was intact.
As far as visual communication and photography go, this still stinks.
So there.; March 11, 2008 6:47 PM
a.random.guy said...: wow....take this down it makes everything else on the site look bad when u make an error like that; March 12, 2008 5:26 AM
Bill Peschel said...: No, leave it up. The fact you commented on it and admitted your mistake puts you leagues ahead of any of the companies you poke fun at.

After all, everyone makes mistakes. Covering them up or acting like it doesn't happen is what gets you into trouble. Just ask Nixon.; March 12, 2008 10:50 AM

Perhaps you should stick to criticizing photoshop and not photography. Don't be an ass - if anything you should blame the photo editor who ran the picture.; March 13, 2008 2:07 AM
Tracy said...: Okay so his head is just visible in the photo, but what is going on with his right hand? Is it just me or does his arm appear to disappear into a black splotch right around where his hand should be? Or maybe he's wearing a blurry black glove?; March 14, 2008 6:48 PM

Christie said...: Ok, I cannot see the head, even if it is tilted back where is the neck?; June 18, 2008 4:48 PM
Did You Know? said...: yeah. the head is hidden. maybe it was kicked. haha; August 11, 2008 7:29 PM
