An interesting story nevertheless, sure to raise some different points of view. My view is, "Storm in a teacup" but I guess there are some who would say rules are rules and it's up to the panel on how they interpret them.
Play nice!
Warning: Photo of the year contains graphic content.

It turns out that the 2013 World Press Photo of the Year — the largest and most prestigious press photography award — was, in actual fact, a fake. The World Press Photo association hasn’t yet stripped the photographer, Paul Hansen, of the title, but presumably it’s just a matter of time. Rather than discussing the politics of photo manipulation, though — is it faked, or is it merely enhanced? — we’re going to look at how Hansen managed to trick a panel of experienced judges with his shooping skillz, and how a seasoned computer scientist spotted the fraudulent forgery from a mile off.
