What is real ?






The same type of poppy and a hoverfly but which is the best picture? 

Did I tidy up the flower in situ or in photoshop and was the hoverfly even there at all? 

Photoshop and peoples skills with photoshop have improved so much over the years that I have now started to question the originality of some images particularly nature images.

The reality is that the first picture is as it was. In the second I thought I had tidy up the same poppy flower by hand and then put the hoverfly in with photoshop. What I didn't see until I put the two side by side was that it was a different flower. I never noticed the difference in the centre capsules of the two flowers which had identical petals but completely different capsules.
