They probably just added the legs to give a height reference of the guy, presumably the camera didn't catch that bit of ground when he was stood there, or maybe had an image error over that portion. Does it matter if they photographed his legs or not? It's his face that helped identify him...

There is nothing strange that i can see at a single glance!
They both appear to be standing at a glass or transparent plastic desk and that medium may degrade the quality of the picture taken by some unknown quality spy cam ... the pictures are also printed on normal paper instead of glossy photograph paper and that consequently degrades the picture quality we are given to assess.
Both guys are standing side onto the counter with their left foot behind their right foot in a relaxed pose.
Maybe it is the bottom of the see through desk that is giving the appearance of a poor photoshop edit.

It really means nothing though, other than a big fat 'Why?!'

rushed job or not...they shouldn't have released those pics altered like that. Some of you say its not photoshopped and looks like they copied it off of a copier...then why would they put the first guys body directly over the second guys legs. to make it look like they are his legs. Just look at the pictures people...they tried to line his body up with the other guys legs...

Exactly,
There was an interesting comment earlier in the thread.
"I wonder what they edited out"....Indeed
Authorities have said they believe the Iranian pair were illegal immigrants who were on their way to Europe via Beijing.
Social media users who saw the photos suggested they may have been intentionally doctored.
"Why did they try to photoshop the legs on the released photo of the Iranians?'' one user asked.
"Photoshop failed! same legs on those pics. are they for real??'' another posted.
But police spokeswoman Asmawati Ahmad said the odd appearance of the photos stemmed from a police staff member placing one on top of the other when photocopying them. "It was not done with malice or to mislead,'' she said.
