Hi Ric,
Right on! It's amazing it wasn't picked-up by a photo-editor before it was 
even on the wire, it's so bad. Rank amateur photo-shopper! He deserved to be 
fired for fiddling the photo and trying to put a greater editorial meaning 
to the picture.

Actually the real unaltered photo is much stronger, he should've left well 
enough alone.
