What a fantastic body yet…

There is something eerily, FAKE about the picture.  Must be the lighting because that head does not look like it belongs on that body!

If this is a photo collage-manip, then it belongs in one of the artwork forums, not here.

Should I move it?  ???

I think that that is what phenoms is trying to imply/asking. That photo does look composed.

Point taken.  Then, that being the case, what is the source of the "picture" and is there a larger version of it for us to inspect more closely.

Indeed, the head looks too large for the body and the lighting does not match.

Alex, you may want to move it. It is a photo manipulation, but I posted it with a compare/contrast in mind. I had intended to use it to make a point and in my mind, the point superseded the content. Then again, now I am even questioning if this was the right category even going by the point. Anyhow, I will leave it to you to decide once you get to review my reply/point.

I was web surfing and came across a thumbnail of what appeared to be a nice face/bone structure. Instead I clicked to find an unfortunate looking woman who the page said was only 41 years old. I have seen people age 70+ who looked better. I would say it was a safe bet that her appearance can largely be attributed to drug abuse. Severe drug abuse from the looks of it.

I found myself thinking "What a shame. I bet if she had taken better care of herself that she would probably be rather attractive for her age."

So I set about changing the photo to fix her teeth and remove the extreme wrinkling she had. When I finished, I thought it was a nice face… or could have been. Finally I decided to take it a step farther and give her a healthier body… an image of what could have been. What she actually looks like vs. what she could have looked like.

That is why I gave this topic the title I did. And I first posted the manipulation by itself to give people a chance to first have the comfort of the more attractive version. The manipulation is such a dramatic difference, that it felt right to carry that potency into the thread.

Here are the full size images.

After seeing the original photo of the woman, I would totally agree that a healthier lifestyle would probably have produced a much better looking woman (your edited picture of her face shows that to be true.) 

Besides, look at Tracy Beckham – 47 and beautiful.

I also suspect that she has spent too long in the sun or has used sunbeds too frequently in her youth.

Since its something of a mini-guide of photo manipuation, which others might find useful, I've moved it here.  8)
