You see what happens is that a designer and Photoshop love each other very very much and then they do a special kiss and then a stork brings a bundle and in the bundle is a brand new Photoshop Disaster for you to love.

attack of the incredibly shrinking hair dresser
Wow! He's like a hairdresser-ninja!
NAPSD; MGFCDT
Nice hair.
There seems to be a disproportion between her head and hand, and the hair at the top of her head looks funny.
The tiny hairdresser just looks goofy.
IS the new Vogue cover weird or is it just me?
The one with Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, et al.
I find it hard to believe that Anna Wintour would let such a thing happen...
is it just me or this picture could also be posted in awkward boners????
Ghastly, to those of us who like our human beings to be in proportion and human-looking. But I don't think that includes the fashion products industry or the drones who shovel money into their treasure chests. Photoshop success, I'd say.
her stubby little fingers would make me look SO BIG
@Vincent: Maybe her head is huge, which would make you look SO SMALL? :)
Probably just a small owl.
no one else noted his erection?
What's with the shadow/ghost thing on the guy?
Caro / llumapi
Totally. Maybe he's attracted to girls with massive heads?
Not an erection.
He's a hairdresser.
He's probably gay.
Oh, motion blur gives me a boner!
Psyhcic dwarf haidresser with boner. Never a good look.

(word verification is 'pubar'. I don't know what that means but sounds about right)
I think you're looking for 'fubar" which is f'ed up beyond all recognition
What's the issue about the "tiny" or "dwarf" hairdresser? He's closer to the background. He's casting a shadow on it. She isn't. Perhaps this will help:
Small ... far away
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a shit image. But for me that makes every fashion shot ever published a shit image. I can totally buy the art director signing this one off.
Wow. Is that concrete on her head?
Is that a bottle of Wella Hair Care Products in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
You are feeling sleepy......
OK at first I thought the weird motion thing was what was wrong with this image. Then I realised it was his erection. Not many people are pointing this out (but he's definitely pointing out)
Oh yeah and the disproportionate hand to head thing.
...he's so horny... :\
The angle the mini-hairdresser is at, he's not even looking at her. He's looking behind her at something off-camera.
I don't think that's an erection. It's an awkward pocket pooch. The pants don't fit him all that well, and his pose made the pocket pooch out a lot.
At first glance it looks like an erection though!
Hey, could someone give me a hand for my hair? Oh, thanks photoshop guy. Just stick it here and I'll pretend I like it.
I'm not touching meeee!
First I noticed how disproportionate the girl's body is...
... and then I noticed the HUGE bulge in the dude's pants.
Now I can't stop looking at it... it's like a car crash... I just can't... look... away...
Why the hell are the ends of her hair glowing? Maybe that's why the hairdresser has an enormous erection, he's so in awe of the gorious shine that Wella products give her hair.
Yes, the little guy in the background is goofy looking, but lets not let his busy pants detract from the awful job on the upper arms of the hair model. Fuzzy bulges, tone discrepancies and overambitious shadows.
Not to mention she appears to be proportionally challenged...
David are you sure you want to go on calling that a shadow?
I mean do you really think that his hair is casting a darker shadow then the rest of his head?
or that his nose, for instance, casts less of a shadow the the rest of his head, which in turn casts less of a shadow then his eyes?
Sorry I don't buy that he is closer to the background and casting a shadow. that is some kind of freaky faded double of the ninja hair dresser, and just another layer of PSD.
God bless the motion blur filter eh?
I want to know what's up with her shoulders though - her head seems to be connected about 2/3 of the way along, instead of the more traditional middle.
The point is, the visible shoulder is 'square on'. The flow of the hair over the other shoulder indicates that shoulder should be jutting out, but it clearly isn't causing that 'hairbump'.
Also, the girl's head is too big for her shoulders and/or at an impossible angle in relation to the visible shoulder. It looks like it's more in-front of the rest of the image. Possibly because that section has been enlarged (if it's part of the same photo at all).
The guy is just stupid, but not part of what's wrong with the image.
Take a look at her boob, and forget about the boner and the other stuff.
@Zaphod
For the precise point I was making about the dwarf hairdresser - it's a shadow. Yes, it's motion blur but it serves to locate him closer to the background than the model. Or what, you actually think the deigner meant him to be that small?
It is pretty much impossible to pick up a single grooming product or look at an advert for one and not be able to say "Distorted proportions ... impossible complexion ... ignorance of perspective ... inexplicable visual effects ... unearthly glow from non-radioactive human tissue ..." and so on, and so on. This is typical example from a notorious field of image abuse. Anyone disagree? (And nobody mention those abominably manipulated Dove pictures.)
Boner!
I'm sorry for you guys but you took it totally wrong.
Does that hand look like a human hand?
Does that hair look like human hair?
of course not.
It is obviously a Lion! An attractive Lion with a Wella treated mane and a regular lion's leg.
As for the boner on the background, it's just faaar awayyyyyyyy :)
no no, no no, your head isn't big at all
oh and nice erection by the way ;)
I love the solution to split ends that Wella seem to have pioneered with this image! *tries desperately to bevel & emboss ends of hair to no avail*
Models are just built weird, sorry that sells. And most pictures of models are fabrications of different parts, that is a given, but what is with that wierd white shadow and lighting under her hair line by her breasts. (Insert your own white shadow show reference here.)
Her hair kung fu is STRONG: it has pushed back Zoolander Salon Guy with NO effort on her part!
Did anyone notice there is something odd with her hair?
I'm sorry; I guess the disaster is too subtle for me to catch. Is it the heavily-airbrushed forearm on the model? Perhaps the hair looking unnaturally even and "perfect"?
I thought the teeny hairdresser in black'n'white in the background was an obvious "concept" thing.
I don't know what the intended "disaster" was, by my eyes keep gravitating to her forearm. The skin looks way too smooth and perfect; it doesn't appear to have any natural texture to it.
Look at the funky contour of the hair model's right arm. Not to mention that the hairdresser is in black and white.
The "tiny hair dresser" thing is a pretty funny optical illusion. When I first saw the pic, I saw him as in the background... but when so many people mentioned it, I went back and looked again. Hahahaha, it's pretty easy to see him as part of the foreground and just tiny. That was some bad decision making my whoever designed this. Not that the rest of it was good or anything.
Well obviously the guy is hiding a small owl in his pants. :P lmao
Why is he making kung fu motions in her general direction?
The hairdresser doesn't have an erection. It's the pocket on his cargo pants, as they tend to open up and poke out when the leg is bent at the hip. Likewise, it's not a shadow on the background, it's motion blur, which makes no sense.
As far as her hair goes, I have extremely long, think hair, and when I pull my hair over my shoulders and turn my head, I have a similar look to her.
Fingers; they're foreshortened. They're pointing away from the camera, so they appear to be stubby.
I don't think this is a PSD. It's a crap image, sure, but not a PSD.
LOL @ awkward boners! That's what the "volume & straightening" referred to.

Miranda said "Why is he making kung fu motions in her general direction?"
Go check their site. It's endemic! At http://www.wella.com/products/products_h/color_h/magma.php? The b/w dude’s looking at her withered arm. At http://www.wella.com/products/products_h/color_h/blondor.php? He’s making gang signs at the poor anorexic thing. And at http://www.wella.com/trends/trend_collection_09/trend_collection/trend_looks/intersexion.php, who knows? Gas?
Maybe it’s the Mr. Clean Syndrome: a man pops up and magically solves all your hysterical foolish female problems.
@Don: PUBAR means Phucked Up Beyond All Recognition, one step beyond SNAFU (the "F" in that is a really weird way Americans spell phucked).
afterthought: check out http://www.wella.com/trends/trend_vision/catwalk/catwalk_dl/index.php for a parade of true ugly-ism and misogyny at it's ripest.
WV: lionsie. Lions eat goats, don't they?
It is very poor but, as David says, not more so than the usual cosmetic industry rubbish. I don't think they're going for realism or hard-edged documentary.
The only thing that catches my eye is her badly cut-out/blurred upper arms and the strangely dark crease of her elbow.
No more lsd for you? No more viagra for the hairdresser!
The weird elbow, arms, and bottom of hair are probably due to the fact that the original picture was cropped at the bottom, and they later had a somewhat transparent swish stroke over her arms. Later they decided to get rid of the swish and had to remake the parts that were covered, and completely construct elbow and lower hair. If you search for the image on tineye.com you can see what I'm talking about.
WV: melli: as in "There's something (s)melli about this picture."
The "Shadow" as you want to call it, is a copy of the so called hair dresser's upper body rotated and blurred.
Shadows don't have dynamic shadowing within them where you see details of the object casting them.
This wasn't the worst PSD on that site. Click on the link to the original and then click on the link in the site to Colour. The woman with the red hair has some serious arm/neck issues going on!

Ha, I genuinely didn't notice the buldge at first until reading some comments... I just thought he was doing a "Spider man" on her back.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=spider%20man
l think she looks beautiful, lights camera action l wish i had that life style, ps ther is nothing wrong with her hair.
"Not a PSD, this was clearly made in GIMP" LOL :D
I don't see a copyright acknowledgement from Mattel, even if it's obvious that her right arm is borrowed from a Barbie doll. They could be in trouble. Not to mention her mother: Size of model's head is bigger than hip (probably) - that must have been a tough birth!
On the other side I'm glad too see waterheads treated as normal folks.
Nice smoothing Photoshop operator! But: I do see a clear wrinkle / skin fold on her neck!!?! What's up with that?
The guy is staring at something behind her; probably outside the picture. Scary.
Well her hand and his little pocket trout are the same size, so thats good, but she must be bald and stood up under a wig hanging with suspension wires becuase her head obviously isnt attached to the hair. She's looking southwest and the hair is looking due north.
Nice web site like the shrinking hair
