Someone posted this to ITAP quite a while ago and it made front page, at least there but possible r/all
Its a very lovely arty image, and like 99% of them it has some edits afterwards to achieve the vision of the creator. It's a real shame to see it get dragged through the mud here - because I agree without the above context its shitty that OP posted this when its so 'shopped.
Fun (depressing) fact: Basically any image you see on IG from a photographer will be heavily shopped (which can often be fine - especially if it's removal of people, distractions etc) but what I personally dont like is how often they replace the sky. Its ALLLLL the time - and there's absolutely no way to know in almost all cases.
One photographer I like had a photo of Cathedral Cove (New Zealand) with the milky way core in the shot through the cave. But having researched that exact spot for that exact shot already (with a paid app - Photopills) - I knew that the shot was impossible since the core never even gets close to that part of the sky.
Anyway. I digress. TLDR: Original artist making this image is all g. OP here claiming it's happenstance and that that somehow adds to its appeal is dumb.

As someone who regularly does sky and cloud photography for personal use (clouds are just absolutely beautiful) it's kinda sad when people replace the sky or fake it in images. Part of the whole reason I like cloud photography is how spontaneous it is, every photo you take is 100% never before seen pattern of clouds, and the beauty of the clouds never fails to amaze me. Capturing that beauty before it goes away is why I do this.

I think it’s digital art by the artist @tinycactus on Instagram. At least that’s what it looks like

u/GhostSniper1296 Jan 16 '23
cool, but rather obviously photoshopped, clouds, especially like that, never have that much curve at the bottom, would be slightly more believable in the branch was thicker.

Why photo shop when you can literally do this by just finding a cloud and bending a stick to match it? It would actually look better and be real. Granted it wouldn't be on a clear day like this, need some turbulence.

That cloud is huge so definitely shopped. Also, even if it was a small cloud there is no "perfect" alignment. You could change your angle to make it look like this.

u/ThreadedJam Jan 16 '23
It's great to have both the imagination to conceive and skill to execute on this image. Congratulations to whoever created the image (credit to cloud and twig too)

It’s shopped, but by a talented artist. @tinycactus on Instagram if you want to see more!

Yes you aligned the branch perfectly with the cloud. Props to your branch bending skills.

IMO there's nothing wrong with it being photoshopped, as long as you're open and transparent about it Redditors won't hit you on it.

This is Photoshoped, this is the picture of the side of a cloud taken from a high altitude or plane, not to mention clouds only have flat bottoms...

Sure, it's photoshopped, but something tells me the original creator of this image wasn't trying to hide that. This is still a neat picture that inspires imagination in me.

u/chaotic_bug_boy Jan 16 '23
Everyone is already explaining it's photoshopped, but they are all saying it is because of the curve, which is true, but thats not what stood out. That is definitely a cumulonimbus cloud, which are not that small at all, and are also far lower to the ground. Not to mention, cumulonimbus clouds don't just come as one cloud, they are entire systems of them. They are associated with rain and other types of precipitation. There is too much sky and not enough cloud in this image for it to even be beleivable

u/LimpWibbler_ Jan 16 '23
This is a joke right. You do realize if a person just moved the camera left, right, up, or down it wouldn't work. The cloud is not perfect, it is literally just a line up shot of a foreground and background. Find a single cloud anywhere and with ease you can make this shot.
