File talk:Long Beach 1933 Earthquake.jpg

Doctored photo?
Was this photo doctored? I see lots of inconsistencies in lighting, shadow, focus, etc...  The following elements look like they came from another photo:  The policeman and man on the right, the three cars parked on the right side of the street, as well as the lady walking down the center of the street.

The debris in the middle of the street is out of focus, and has very little contrast, but the woman and the officer are in perfect focus and well-contrasted. In addition, compare the shadow on the tires of the car immeidately behind the woman on the right with that of the car in the right foreground. Also the black car on the right side of the street (third one back) appears to be 'floating' above the street.

It looks like there are several elements here that were taken from another photo? Please comment. Nothingofwater (talk) 22:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
