I chose to manipulate a photograph I found on the web of people swimming in the ocean. A friend of mine posted this photo on her blog and I chose to use it because it was an interesting black and white image with lots of negative space that I could fill with another form. I manipulated it by inserting a shark below the people swimming. If my photoshoped image was published it could be harmful because it portrays a fake shark in shallow waters where people usually swim. The image I manipulated shows how photoshop can be unethical and lie to the viewer, just as my article I found discussed.
This is the reason I never swim in the ocean.. Jaws ruined it for me! I like how you kept the photo in black and white too. Looks like it could be seen in an older mag.Well done!
