So she escapes from Beijing and you think she's all safe and stuff and the music is all sweet and you're waiting for the credits to roll but then there's like another scene and so you think OK fair enough just padding the ending out and stuff but then the music does this kind of off-key thing and argh argh there in the cornfield underneath you goddamn it argh I hate this movie. Argh.
Original is here, thanks to Belinda!

weird because the one that ran in the mag isn't like that

@ Chris:
They updated it there I think
It's another "Children of the Corn" sequel! Run!
That's her father's hand. The balance beam was about eleven feet off the ground, he was there to catch her if she fell.
Heh. That's more a lack of photoshop making the disaster :-P
Yeah, my first thought was that it was simply a lack of photoshop, not a photoshop disaster. And the magazine proves that.
I'm completely stuck as to why not using PhotoShop when one should disqualifies this from being the kind of disaster people seem to expect on here...
F*ck it. I totally agree with David -- the LACK of needed Photoshopping IS a PhotoshopDisaster!!
I thought that the problem would be something with cloning corn.
But it was much worse than I imagined.
That beam does not belong.
Bad cropping! Bad!
Someone tape down that gaffer!
that was a great movie synopsis :D
does anyone see how her foot on the beam looks kind of strange? shouldn't her toes be curling around it or something? do gymnast toes do that? I have no idea.
The other 'shoppers should take the print version as a lesson in really GOOD 'shopping. It looks very good.
Not a PS Disaster. All the cool gymnasts have a balance beam with an extra set of fingers just like that one.
All that work to get the lighting and white balance to look correct, and they miss that.
p.s. Isn't a captcha of "bfkrcxqm" a bit much?
Yeah, this is 100% most definitely not a photochop. It's Joe McNally. Pity he left the hand in, but it is real.
I imagine that there was more of a person or persons showing and in fact they did some photoshopping, but not enough... hence I think it is a Photoshop Disaster!!
haha yes! my picture made it on :) poor, poor shawn..
Firstly what you are seeing is an unphotoshopped image. The beam really was in the cornfield, it was shot by Joe McNally and you can read about it in his blog (scroll to the bottom):
http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/2008/09/23/as-good-as-it-gets/
So this is not a photoshop disaster, or a lackofphotoshop disaster, Joe would have turned over the original to SI who retouched it for print (as can be seen by the scan on Joe's blog) so this is really a uploaded-the-wrong-image-for-the-web disaster.
matt--
Thanks for splitting that hair for us. Me, I was just creeped out by the image and very much amused by the description. I think the hands actually belong to M. Night Shamalamadingdong, who's praying for inspiration from He Who Lurks in the Rows.
OMG! The children of the corn are after her! RUN!
Wow, that's neat that they took the beam out in the cornfield. The representative from Nebraska approves. ^_^
And despite the hair splitting I still think this is a PsD.
Sophmagazine--
Nope, her toes don't need to curl around the beam as it is a couple inches wide. I'm pretty sure they never curl their toes around the beam as they are "just" standing on it when not jumping, tumbling, or turning.
And I agree that these captchas are freaking excessive.
Perhaps the erm "designer" should've cropped the photo.
"M. Night Shamalamadingdong" so it's not just me who calls him that? Cool!
FAIL!!!
I'm sick of the Olympians already. (yes, Phelps, too)
OK, this might not be a disaster itself, but if you fancy to use the prev and next buttons in the Original, you'll see disasters like

and
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0805/worlds.best.female.athletes/content.11.html
If you look at the magazine, they did a very nice job photoshopping out the hand. This was just a case of accidentally putting up the unedited version on the website. No big deal. Now, if the hand was present in the printed magazine, that would be a disaster.
who the hell is deciding on these "disasters" - as others have pointed out, this is the LACK of photoshop, rather than an abuse of it.

This is Hilarious! And fits perfectly XD
Find the correctly retouched image here:

And her head is too small, making her look like a 6-4 wide receiver.
The mysterious hand belongs to either a stalker or a paparazzi photographer trying to get closer to the gymnast, by hiding in the corn. Although I have to wonder why the gymnast has her balancing beam in a cornfield instead of in a gymnasium or a hall!
That could be her father...or a dirty old man.
Either way, very disturbing.
I thought it was the Catcher in the Rye :)
so I think we caught two lovers in a quickie (hence the difference colored hands), ahem jungle fever.
