First, I don’t see what entitles you to use such a tone. Did I disrespect you? Given the time you took to delete your first response and stew over the next two, it seems I struck a nerve. Are you okay ?
Of course, I looked at the photographer’s Instagram feed. I saw his high-level commitment to wildlife photography. I analyzed the image he posted because I found it intriguing, because I enjoy the exercise, and because (by sharing it publicly) he invited critique. That’s my right.
My ability to spot inconsistencies comes from years of practice and a trained eye. What can I do about that?
That said, I never mentioned AI (and yes, my little profile rodent is rather cute, isn’t it?). I simply pointed out that the image appeared manipulated. Photoshop has been around since the ’90s, after all.
So, put your anger aside and let me appreciate and critique the work shared with the public in peace.
I stand by my technical observations, which were about the image, not the photographer. If you perceive critique as an attack, that’s your prerogative, but it’s not my problem. Have a nice day.

What ‘anger’ are you talking about, mate?
You said and implied something obnoxious towards the original photographer, and I corrected you.
It is to THEM that you owe any sort of apology, my friend… Now, are you capable of that, matey?
I guess that remains to be seen, eh…?

No… absolutely NOT.
I’m sorry for reacting so negatively, and of COURSE I tend to drift in that direction.
I just… don’t GET you’re personal theory about how one of the most respected naturist photogs of our era is somehow manufacturing their material.
Don’t you understand how insane and explosive that sounds, matey…??
