paragraphs explaining what you think was done and why. Also include your
opinion on the alteration.

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.
