"The photographer has denied deliberately attempting to manipulate the image, saying that he was trying to remove dust marks and that he made mistakes due to the bad lighting conditions he was working under," said Moira Whittle, the head of public relations for Reuters.

Yeah, tell us another one, Reuters. I know elementary school kids who would have recognized that photo as doctored. Not only that, but they could have done a better job of doctoring it.
