Below is a photo given to me to look over by a coworker, Jennifer W. I have 14 years Photoshop experience, and I can find no visual markers or artifacts of cloning or layering. This was a test photo to make sure the flash was working on a digital camera as college students from Amarillo went on a biology class field trip to Lake Travis near Austin, TX.
The figure that appears to the right of the student when the photo is lightened is of unknown origin and was not noticed by anyone at the site. In brief, the figure shares lighting characteristics with the dock that appears to the left of the student, and, there is no evidence of double exposure. Some see a diver, some see a Native American. Why the eyes glow is unknown. Could this be a scuba diver that didn't say hello and went unnoticed, or, is it something less easy to explain?
