I'm not who you're responding to, but the cropping along with the extreme lack of texture in the building make it seem artificial.

- anigbrowl 3y agoEvery pro photographer crops for impact and composition, it's part of the job. The lack of texture is probably a function of distance, time of day, and atmospheric conditions. I think if it was fake people could quickly point out that no such mosque exists in Gaza, or that it's an altered pic of some mosque in a different region.

- nyc_data_geek1 3y agoYeah, this is what I was seeing. Edited GP to remove any insinuation it wasn't genuine - I did not intend to mean this was disinfo, more so maybe that CNN was just getting lazy in sourcing their media.
