I'm not exactly sure how to explain
this photo from the Associated Press. Notice how absolutely red Condoleezza looks? The effect isn't as noticeable
at Daylife, but judging by
this alternate version, which is still on the wire, I'd suspect that
something has been going on. And here's
another photo from the same event, released by the U.S. State Department. She doesn't look, on the surface, to be suffering from any blood pressure problems.
So why the alteration?
Was the AP trying to improve the photograph for republication? Was the red tint a by-product of something over on the Yahoo! News side of the system?
Or was somebody trying to color
your opinion of the news by making her look all the more sinister?
If it hadn't
happened before, I'd say the whole idea was crazy.
