Reuters ran this photo of Tony Blair today for an article on Topix. It's a complete catastrophe -- there are so many things wrong with it, I can't possibly understand why they published it:
1. WTF is he looking at? Never crop the side that the subject is gazing into -- it leads the viewers' eyes off-frame.
2. What does the gi-normous portrait in the background have to do with the story? (hint: nothing!)
3. Could there be less contrast in the art work behind him? Were the editors too lazy to Ctrl-Shift-L ?
Ok, it's a crop from some older, unrelated story -- was this the best they could find?
Jesus, I had to photoshop it just so I could sleep tonight:
Ahh.. that's better. But not very World News worthy, it it?
Oh look - Vladimir "Pooty" Putin has joined the party! Getting warmer...
Arrrrrrrrr! Blair and Pooty mixing it up at the Web 2.0 Pirate Convention -- Arrrrrrrr!
God I love Photoshop

That's hilarious. I saw the same photo yesterday and was flabbergasted. I think the pirate look is the way to go.

Tequilla shots for Putin? That is news worthy. I would have presumed vodka.
