Amateur.
What are we supposed to make of this? He's showing off that he's pro sport shooting before he signs antigun legislation? I bet the photoshop is the smoke coming from the barrel.
But its probably a mole on his forearm or something...

I don't see anything wrong with it. So the White House requests a photo from one of those days back at Camp David whre he was shooting. I mean President Obama didn't just fly down there the other day for a photo shoot.
So this guy pulls up a photo maybe makes some color adjustments , or crops or whatever in Photoshop and then releases it. Maybe he just needs to add in a copyright info or something. I do not feel this warrants scrutiny.

How would you see recoil in a single frame image?
And his hand looks normal. The shadow makes it look a bit funny, but that's it.

Its so sad some of you will look for absolutely any reason possible (even if there isnt one there) to slam this president, when there are so many real reasons to slam the government!

They didn't say that. It's obvious they were saying don't manipulate it then use it in an advertisement.
I'm sure this is absolutely nothing. It's the freakin president. If they were photoshopping it for some nefarious purpose, I'm pretty sure they have the technology to cover it up.

I created a thread on the subject that the W.H. didn't want the photo to be manipulated (and encouraged people to do so ), but mods came in, removed the photoshops and promptly closed the thread down and it has yet to be reopened. Apparently they are a little paranoid around here and it as to be ascertained as to whether the W.H. actually has any recourse.
I, personally believe (and believe that it is true) that any photos put forth by the W.H. are in the public domain, and even regardless to that fact it isn't illegal to manipulate the photo and display it if there is no profit to be made. It's really a shame because I was hoping to inspire higher quality out of ATS members and have them open up P.S. and create some original content. ATS born.
My (hopefully temporarily) comatose thread : here

I've been shooting skeet for 35 years and never fired at a clay pigeon from that angle.
Never would...
