If it is due to enlargement then surely the other figure highlighted would also have an halo.

You'd expect consistancy. Right ?

enlargment of the origional photo.... no way, it enlarges all pixels to the exact same degree...

anyway this colour profile shot raises more questions...

the only frontal shot of the President of Iran taking part in the incident is a grainy black and white image... and yet we have this colour pofile image... very strange... You cannot identify someone from a profile shot of them, especially given how long ago this photo was taken... Also, all the news stories indicate that there was only ONE AP reporter who took these images... what happened... the AP reporter decided to take one shot in black and the other in colour? Did e have two different cameras? very strange... Until someone shows me a full frontal full colour photo i still believe that the black and white grainy image is a FAKE and that the colour profile shot is not a fake because it doesnt need to be... its too obscure anyway because its only a profile head shot.

I guess I'm curious as to why this is an issue at all? In the final result, does it really matter? Thanks.

sigung it matters because Bush wants a war in Iran and he needs to sell it to the People with little psy-ops like this (assuming its a psy-op for a moment).

good find AceofBase... that clearer photo doesn't looks suspicous at all to me, maybe this thread has been debunked anyway debunked or not debunked... its good to scrutinize things like this.

Good eye metallicabrainz!
Somethings definintely fishy about that picture. I can't wait to see how ATS rips into this one!

Point taken, Jb1.

Sanc'.

The 'halo' in question does not seem confined only to the central figure:

The first image has been inverted with no touch-up at all. The second is a high pass set to 5.2 pixels, note also the halo round the chap second from right's shoulder.

In the background there is a guy with his right hand on his hip and his left hand scratching his head.

Is it me or does his right elbow overlap the hostages head in the foreground ?

The more I look at it the stranger it looks.

Yeah, I see it too.
That dude is so out of place there

so many halo's... maybe they are angels?



actually i'm watching bbc news and they say that examined the footage and have confirmed that the man in the photo is NOT the president, as the man in the photo is too TALL to be the president. So maybe the photo's are real, but this whole thing smells like a dirty little psy-op and i think it will be exposed very soon.

An attempt at clarifying the elbow section:

Jak

this image is so fake... that elbow definetly protrudes infront of the dude's head... good eye you got john bull and jak, i didn't notice that!

If it's a fake it's either a "Straw Man" a deliberate fake made so it can be knocked down like Bushes Service record during the campaign or it was done 30 years ago just to make a better picture.

My bet is the latter.

Sometimes reality isn't quite good enough. Remember the photos that repeated groups of people so that crowds appear larger ?
