If it’s not clear to you, the original claim probably sets critical context. The first thread was spawned by the photographer claiming there were no leaves in the foreground, and that the post processing software had picked some random background content and used that in place of a human face. Clearly, what you say is in some sense true; digital zoom and post processing have left some artifacts. To me it sort of looks like there’s another leaf on the same branch as the first. But when you are digitally zooming a tiny iPhone camera to photograph someone 50-100ft away and there’s multiple depths captured, it seems hard to imagine how the photograph would be crystal clear in that circumstance, and even further it’s crystal clear the post processing only failed to add clarity, and it certainly did not introduce a nonexistent leaf / twig / branch connected realistically as some software bug.
