Is this picture photoshopped?

It was posted on a hunting forum..Supposedly the picture was taking with a trail camera, right as the guy released his arrow. Every time an unusual picture is posted, people go around screaming photoshop on the forum.
The pic does not look photoshopped to me, but I guess it could be done. I have no experience with photoshop and know several of you do..

So is it, or is it not?

This is what happened:

the deer is dead, laying on the ground, they snaped a image of it and cut the deer out of the photo with photoshop.

Then pasted the deer by it self into this current photo, and tried to blend it (horribly might I add).

I could have done a better job with raw material in an hour. (darkened the picture of appear to match color intensity of the deer) (deer was photographed around 7:00-8:00 p.m. and the picture of the back ground looks to be 2- 3pm.

Made the deer more blurred to appear he was runing.

Cut him out a little smoother

Add blood splatter to make it appear that his wound is leaking whilst he is running.

etc.....

either way who cares... it could have been shot, then just jumped around with the arrow in it

I put 'no way' but I meant 'it is photoshopped.' The blood splatter isn't consistant with where that arrow landed.

And... I just realized the original is shown above. I'm dumb.

As for the transparent tail, I have several pictures myself of deer on motion that appear "ghostly" or "transparent". Its just due to the slow shutter speeds on these cameras.

I was about to say that.

i made myself "see thru" in one pic by getting the settings just right.

I must be fake.

but who the **** really cares? Its a ****in deer.

Lol, I photo shopped the arrow and blood out. I also added the wildlife tag and changed date.

Point being, Unless you took the pic your self, there no real way of telling.

lawl, anyone who uses photoshop or any other similar program even at a n00bish level knows that image has been edited.

Like I really don't know how any of you can think that is real.

I didn't find any other pictures using Tineye with the image link. So it WAS an original photo by that person.

Idk about you, but here at this time of year the sun is still up in the West. If that camera is facing West, the sun is still in the sky. If that deer is dead laying on the ground (which I already stated can't be possible) it's head would be tilted upwards because of it's antlers. It's head is facing straight forward. Also possibly it's tongue my be sticking out if it was dead.

Everyone that says it's fake is just looking at the arrow and blood. You need to look at all aspects. Most of you have never seen a deer moving through one of those cams. That's how they look most of the time!

This picture seems fine by me.

ya blood looks fake and it looks like its in a different layer than the background(deer)

Look at the angle of the arrow.

He'd have to be up in a tree to get that angle since the deer was in mid air.

According to the fact that he said he took the pic as he released the arrow.

if thats the cace, should'nt the deer be blured?

Also, there is blood on his right front leg, what's up with that?

And the comment above mind about the angle of the arrow is a very good point as well.

I vote chopped.
