There's also something odd with her arms, particularly the [her] left one.
"Yeah, your bush was showing in that one. But don't worry, we can easily change that and no-one will be any the wiser!"
WV: horskin
Despite plenty of material available to inform the decision, I can't tell if she's attractive or not. It would help if her right leg wasn't so freaky. The bottom part may well connect with the top part somewhere, but neither connects with the middle part.
OMG!!! Did you see her belly-button?
*sighs*
I wish I could get my hair to stand on end like that.
Are you sure that's not just her penis?
I think she might have a male torso, too. I am so confused.
I'm also having a hard time figuring out how her hand props up her head at that angle when her forearm appears to be heading a different direction...
ahh I get it... they left her sock on, right???
"Yeah, your bush was showing in that one. But don't worry, we can easily change that and no-one will be any the wiser!"
So it's easier to add a leg rather than simpling cloning out any pubic hair. Cool.
even though her hair makes it difficult to concentrate on anything else, i managed to find this disaster all on my own!
*clap clap*
The title says "the great pretender" so obviously this was all on purpose.
Yeah that hair!
I wonder if her hairdresser was home schooled!
Now, *THE* question: whose girlfriend has/can wake up with a hair like that?
The hair is the real disaster here.
"I wonder if her hairdresser was home schooled!"
HA!
...and another meme is born.
Your captions are the more spot on the more egregious the disaster, if I were better at math I'd write an equation. This would be 100!
holy skin tone, batman
I also think she has a man body. And those must be some very severe tan lines on her legs too
the whole thing is so inconceivable! One of the worst PSDs ever...
This is MASSIVE fail, so many reasons.
FIRST, this is a major photographer Steven Meisel,
SECOND, it is for a major media outlet,
THIRD, most likely done by a "top" retouch house,
my educated guess is Nucleus Imaging in NYC, I know they do alot of Meisel work
FOURTH, can you imagine how many "eyes" were on this during the entire production process? i.e. Art directors, studio managers and retouchers and STILL NO ONE SAW hoe obviously disturbing this whole thing is?
FAIL all around, hopefully this stuff keeps people like myself, busy and working.
Retouchers need to learn anatomy, period before calling themselves a pro.
There is also something very wrong about the shoulder line, camera right. that very straight line is unforgivable.
I know alot of work is being done by 18 year old art students @12.00 per hour and much more farmed out to China and India.
People, you get what you pay for!
Shouldn't this be tagged "investment funds" as well? I suspect the leg photoshop was done to cover them up.
Girl was taking part in that crazy magic trick and she was cut in three. Maybe somewhere, they lost her bodyparts and gave her a male belly, a child legs and a Frankenstein hairdo as recompense.
isn't that head just ..beyond small compared to the rest of her body?
I mean, unless it is normal to have belly buttons the size of your nose these days , sheesh..

Oh no! Minorities totalling 2.4bn people randomly insulted! The comments board will never take it! Ruuun!

Probably home-schooled as well.
It looks as though her face is photoshopped on too. It doesn't quite fit onto the head (look around the ear!)
... why is she wearing tube socks?!
I remembered this 2008 New Yorker piece, about the guy who handles retouching for Vogue; but after rereading, I see he's credited with French & Italian Vogue, not American.
I include here nonetheless; worth reading, if you haven't--

That's gotta be a man's body. Way too much arm musculature for those skinny legs, for it to be a woman. They probably 'shopped on a little bit of boobage.
Yeah, I feel like her wrist has an extra joint or something to be holding her head like that...

And I know a lot of 18 year old art students that can do a better job than this. For free.
I saw Lydia the triple-jointed she-male do this once after a lightning storm in Tijuana, it's totally possible :P
It looks like she's humping a dismembered leg! Geez.
OMG. My verification word: mount
There is nothing wrong with the image, besides, it was in American Vogue too.
Yeah, the more I look at this the more I agree with Natalia. There's nothing wrong with this image other than a kind of unfortunate optical illusion effect. It's perfectly conceivable that the model could get herself into that position. It's just hard to imagine why you'd want the world to see it, that's all.
I still think someone involved with this image was home schooled!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It's not from Russian Vogue. It was featured in Vogue US a couple of months ago, along with an article about Steven Meisel.

I know her well and I think this picture is fairly true-to-life except for the addition of the fake leg. Eeesh!
As far as her belly button, the woman has had three children, so lay off.
'nother obvious fail:
Doesn't Vogue market clothes?
Where are the clothes?
DUDES, u really need to be more descriptive for the sake of us mentally chalenged, some disasters on the site arent that obvious to me... this one included.
Luciano,
It's her right leg; it appears to be growing out of her lady-parts and not where it really should be.
I'm looking at the real photo in the magazine, and it sure doesn't look Photoshopped to me. I'm a photog, too, and it isn't that hard to get a model to pose just like she is. Other things that are screwy in the web version are actually where the light highlights her body...the only bad thing is the artist adjusted the highlights way too much, so it looks brushed. The original has beautiful soft lighting.
@sophisticated diary
hmm ... not really, that's just the angle of her hips. There are a few questionable things on this image ... namely that it looks bloody weird ... but I dont think most of the weirdness is photoshop. The link provided a couple of posts up points out a couple of negligable photoshop mishaps ... but tbh, the reason this was posted ... "her messed up leg",I don't even think thats photoshop; either way its plausable.
Its the kind of image that 99% of people on this blog wouldn't look at twice unless it was puched into their faces accompanied with the word "PsD". Therefore not a PsD ... just not a 'perfectly' composed image.
As it happens the 'photoshop work' is actually very good on this image ... its just a slight anatomical mishap. People need to learn the difference between being able to use image manipulation tools well and creating something horrible with them. This, for me, is what defines a PsD, somebody you cannot use the tools.
I think this shows that when you look at an image for too long you see a PSD when there isn't one. Honestly, nothing has been shifted around in this image.
It actually looks like it's not even attached to her at all.
This picture is creeping me the heck out.
closed - hair raising - socked legs fading the beauty of your naval baby.....
Cut the photo in half and it looks like she's in two different poses.
ENTIRELY.
Oh, and her right arm's been added on from another photo in the same shoot. The muscle connecting shoulder to neck is non existant.
@ Karin: The models you use tend to be realistic figures, so it's easy to get an apple shaped person to look like that
Poor Natalia.

N... This is what it is. A composition of several images that 100 odd people can't put together because they can't use image manipulation tools well. At all.
This looks fine to me. I don't any issues with it in regards to a PSD. But I know people who worked on this shoot and yes, the whole shoot was pretty much PS's like every shoot Vogue does.
In fact, the photo of the photographer in the magazine is actually his assistant's body with his head put on top.
Totally obvious that there are 2 separate legs due to the mis-matched socks
Totally obvious with the mismatched socks!
