Shoe81, it was manipulated using the Photoshop program.
If ya blow the image up there are a few things that come into question:
- If it is indeed the "moment of impact" how come there is blood clear up a portion of the shaft?
- Notice the blood on the opposite leg around the armpit area? How did the buck start bleeding so heavily on that side when the arrow hasn't even penetrated that far yet?
- Some questions pertaining to the pixels around the arrow and the blood. Looks like it was added after the fact.
- Camera speed. That is one heck of a trail camera to catch the arrow that clearly.
Even with all that being said, I do not know with 100% certainty that it is Photoshopped. After all, I did not take the pic and did not Photoshop it myself. However, I would bet money that it's not authentic. Someone did a great job with the program though!
This is the one thing that really sucks ass about these sorts of photos today. Some pics we think are authentic turn out to be faked....and it causes us to question almost every fabulous or extraordinary pic that is circulated across the world wide web.
