Another photograph won some competition, and made headlines/front page of several American newspapers. I can't remember what competition, but, it was a "photograph" of a firefighter fighting a fire in scrub. You could /clearly/ see that the flames in the foreground had been clone stamped in post, in at least 3 or 4 places! I don't think anything came of it and he was allowed to keep his prize, regardless of the fact that it was supposed to be a "photojournalist" competition. Photojournalists are not allowed to edit their photographs. They must be presented, as is.

Oops, you're right - it was a wolf! :-) I thought it was doctored, hard to stage unless you have a pet wolf I guess!
