Default What do you think?

Do you think this is a true image or a really good photoshop image?

I glanced at it on a site earlier.

My daughter tells me now this image means love, when I was growing up it was used at rock concerts when you were 5 sheets in the wind to say rock on, some imply it is satan sign the 2 horns....

Anyway think it is real?



And yeah I find myself at some really strange websites.

Anyway I think it is fake the upper arm looks blured out.

I would tend to agree with your assessment of "rock on". I think your daughter is confusing it with the other symbol where it looks the same except the thumb is outstretched - it is my understanding that the symbol with the thumb outstretched means "I love you" in sign language...

That is a gesture you see a lot in Texas, Caldric. I think it has to do with the longhorns. At the University of Texas it is the "hook em horns."

Caldric, check your PM's

Give the lady a cigar. Bush's daughters went there and he lived not far from campus when he lived in the governor’s house in Austin, Texas.

The arm is not only blurred, but out of proportion, Caldric - or looks so to me. I think it's one of the internet genius's cute gambits.


The gesture - well, I can't tell you what I always understood it to mean, because I don't talk that way, and Jason would bleep it anyway. But it does have something to do with fertilizer.

Default Re: What do you think?

I'd accept Woodmonkeys thought of what the sign means. As for the photo I think its not been touched.

The color of the jacket remains the same. The arm is positioned where it should be relative to the person in front. Cutting and setting an arm to position exactly right for that kind of shot takes a lot of work. Then there is the grey area that is neither behind nor in front of the hand it blends as one would expect if it was backflash from a camera with a flash.

Last clue for me is the line of sight. When making a gesture normally the eyes focus on who the gesture is for and the height of the hand relative to where his eyes are focused seem in balance.
