The leaf turns out to be real but hasn't the guy's head behind it been removed? Unless the guy has such a small head its completely hidden!

  Well it was a woman and her head was not completely obscured and is clearly visible. Have you even seen the original image?

    Yes, it looked like a woman to me but I was going by the title of the thread "man's head". Anyways, the image I was commenting is the one clicking on the thread title takes you to. The head is definitely missing: https://twitter.com/mitchcohen/status/1476951534160257026 https://twitter.com/mitchcohen/status/1476951534160257026 What image do you see the head as being "clearly visible"?

      The one that you linked where the face is obscured and the head is visible...?
      • Gupie 5y ago
        There is a browning where the head would be, but there are twigs and other leafs in the brown area but no head that I can see.

  Yeah I don't understand everyone going "oh, that explains it". That is not a photo of a leaf in front of a face. A foreground leaf is involved, but it's not large enough to obscure a face. There's also a leaf-textured halo of brown which looks like it was once someone's hair.

    Yes, it's clearly still a photo that has been messed up by the phone in terms of some kind of artificial image replacement, smoothing and blurring. We just have slightly more context for where the big leaf in front of the face came from.
