Royal Society Photos from the Daily Mail - Stunners among them!

I just checked Royal Society website, every one of those photos are credited to photographer, so it is Daily Mail ripping off photographers. Edited December 10, 2017 by Nick D.

No, there's definitely something up with that photo. Look at the chest of the bird.

 

If you go to the source of the images (

Finalists 2017) the photographer comments that the light was poor and post processing was used to deal with that (success may be argued but I don’t think the intention was to manipulate as such).

 

I think where possible it’s better to link to the original publisher or organizer of the competition to get more of the facts.

I completely agree. These competition links are almost always posted on DPR as well.

I never claimed it was a composite in any of my posts. I'm not a purist; if it was a good one, I wouldn't mind. But to me the post processing takes away from the image, unfortunately.
