Is this fake? He claims: > I am very happy that I won the creative category of Sony World Photography Awards 2023 / Open Competition / Single Image. But I don't see that photo on the competition's website under "Winners » Creative - 2023 Open competition": https://www.worldphoto.org/sony-world-photography-awards/winners-galleries/2023/open/winners/creative-2023-open-competition https://www.worldphoto.org/sony-world-photography-awards/win... Edit: it looks like it was taken down, but I didn't see the note about that because I was looking at https://web.archive.org/web/20230325205601/https://www.eldagsen.com/sony-world-photography-awards-2023/ https://web.archive.org/web/20230325205601/https://www.eldag... that was linked in the top comment.

Further down the article there is an update that they removed the image from the competition after he revealed it was AI generated. Edit: actually, at the top it's mentioned: >>>>>>>>>>>UPDATE 14.3.23 / 10 AM CET As photolari.com reports, my image and name have now been taken off the SWPA webpage. Hope an official statement will follow. <<<<<<<<<<<<<
