The news service Reuters published this picture of George Bush writing a note requesting a bathroom break. I chose this picture because it is amusing and also different from many of the other altered shots. Although many might snicker at Bush's need for some time off in the restroom, it is a legitimate request and what is depicted in the picture is in fact real. The photo was altered by overexposing Bush's text on the note to make it easier to read and stand out. I do not think this was harmful because it was what Bush actually wrote. I believe it was an effective use of photo manipulation and a clever technique. The only way the photo could have a negative impact is by making it appear as if Bush was asking an inappropriate question in a bit too obvious of a manner.
This is a pretty cool video demonstrating how to create a drop of condensation. The video adds the droplet of water of to a bottle of Coca Cola. This technique could be used in advertising to make a drink look more appealing or something wet look more realistic.
This is a very fun entry. Most people's leaned more to the dramatic body-altering manipulations but I like the humour and easiness of the picture and video you picked, haha.
