                                          Miracles of Photoshop

I chose an advertisement in the form of a photo which has definitely been altered.

It is easy to guess that this funny picture has been altered by Photoshop or computer simulation because:

-  It does not seem possible for any person to pull a car.

-  The colour of the sky and clouds seem off.

- The tow rope looks flimsy.

In my opinion the alteration was done to attract more customer attention. Many companies post altered pictures that are funny or creative to capture the attention of customers.

I cannot say anything about quality of alteration because I am not a professional, but this picture has attracted my attention by its full-page size and funny idea.
