Image manipulation

The first thing captured my attention in this picture are these horns coming out from rabbits' heads. Later on, I realized that they donot suppose to be really weird with any Americans, but I, as have never seen them before, or at least have never been to Colorado, thought rabbits with antlers were an amazing and somehow crazy idea.  But honestly, I find quirky ideas pretty creative and it is also the reason why I chose this one out of 24 pictures. Rabbit are often the most tamed animal ever in the world and you hardly see them evoke. But what happen if they are added horns? They related me much to a strong and highly aggressive buffaloes which are willing for a harsh fight.

The comment on the right didnot mention much about image manipulation. But what I guess is that photographer might have changed the composition into black and white, as well as added the antlers to the rabbits. The black and white composition was a marvellous idea, as it created mythical and classic context for jackalope coming out. And despite the seemingly unmatch between horns and rabbits, it is such an intelligent idea because it brought a completely original thought to viewers: rabbit might no long be rabbits, if they are added strong horns.

And I chose a short video in Youtube, naming Retouching: Before and after. This was kind of long than what I really want, but then I found it so interesting. Did you ever know that 100% of fashion photos are retouched before being published? Though I am not totally agreeing on retouching because it can cause false expectations in most women and men, I feel that retouching is essential with magazine editors. Noone will ever lift up the magazine if you post an overweigh, wrinkled woman at her middle age, except from health magazine anyway. 

But then, knowing that there is certain level of lie behind each picture really helps. It awakes most women and men from their 100% perfect models
