Pictures That Lie

The picture I chose is a rubber duck that has large wings spread out so it can fly over a harbor. The background image is of the Boston Harbor because I am from Boston and it is important to me. I manipulated the picture by putting wings on the duck and putting the duck in the air. I also put a person looking up at the duck in awe. I do not think the manipulation was harmful. It was done as a joke and a play off of if pigs could fly because I love ducks.
The article I researched is about digital manipulation in cytology. Researchers were given altered images were the colors were changed to see if it would affect their interpretation. In the altered images the agreement was poor between the cytologists about what the image entailed. My picture that lies is related to the article I read becuase the picture I created is a stretch of the truth or an alteration of what really is.
