A handout picture released by the United Nation Relief and Works Agency on Feb. 26, 2014 shows residents of Syria's besieged Yarmuk Palestinian refugee camp, south of Damascus, crowding a destroyed street during a food distribution led by the UN agency, on Jan. 31, 2014.
Prior to seeing the video, I only evaluated the photo. Every algorithm I tried showed a significant difference between the small-people crowd and the front and sides of the photo. The compression level is inconsistent, the depth of focus is inconsistent, the lighting is inconsistent, the coloring is inconsistent. There's a guy with a monobrow in the center looking down (two people to the left of the blue 'FIRE' jacket); someone altered his face and hair. All of these modifications are significant. The picture may have been based on a photo, but the middle sea of people was replaced to make a stronger impression.
