Photo Manipulation and Ethics II

     In my opinion, the least ethical photo in the article Photo Ethics is the photograph of Oprah Winfrey, whose head was photoshopped onto Ann Margret's body. I find this disturbing because the photo misleads the public and insinuates that either Ann Margret's face is too unattractive or Oprah Winfrey's body is too unattractive. The editing done in this photo is unacceptable and it should not have been created.

I believe that the least objectionable photo in the same article is the photograph where National Geographic moved two pyramids closer together in order to fit them both on the cover. While this is still unethical, it is the photo that is the closest  to acceptable. I find this the most ethical of the bunch because the only motivation in the manipulation is to fit the pyramids on the cover, it was done without malevolent or cruel intentions.
