About the same amount of effort goes into their software updates.

Ian - your heading is a complete mystery to me (and I am sure, to many others), and you have not elaborated.

What, specifically, do you not like about the editing in this photo?

Humm yeah if that's the worst you've ever seen, you've lived a very sheltered life.

I wasn't bothered by the image, but once I saw the cut and paste, I can't unsee it.
The editor did a decent job with the cut-and-paste, but didn't bother to remove the shovel. He apparently hid something, but left part of a concrete platform in the image.

Maybe they used a stereo camera .
I too couldn't see the problem, until it was pointed out to me, at which point it was incredibly obvious.
Which highlights how much our brain does to make things seem "normal".

It's not just the cloned shovel though, keep looking at the rock around it. It looks like they were doing a half decent job of blending the rocks until they got to the right, then just gave up before they finished. Hence my comment about the effort...

Although blaming Microsoft for it is about as smart as blaming Google for showing you an image. It's just an image returned by Bing, largely at random.

Oh, yes. I see it now. And I most definitely get it. A stereo photo, but whoever did the editing decided to cut out the right-hand image of the lighthouse, to try to make the whole cut-paste edit that much less obvious. Ah-hah!!

But then it's Microsoft. I mean, they gave us Windows 10. I rest my case.

As for Ian living a "sheltered" life, well - anyone who lives (partly) Turkey and does as good work as he produces with a Yashica TLR, is most definitely not living in any form of shelter.

Good one, Ian. Let's have a shot of raki now, and get on with making good images.
