Hi all,

I came across this picture - photoshopped or not? Looks a bit unnatural and I have some feelings about the perspective and the background being tilted a bit.
If photoshopped, how can I tell?

Though your initial feeling is right, camera angels dont match..it isnt a way to "prove" it's photoshopped.

Looking more closely you can see the shadows of the people walking on the left not matching up with the couple's. This could - theoretically - be of using multiple light sources, but that isnt something you would see in a holiday picture

Thanks. How about this shade on the man's right cheekbone?

Looks natural enough to me.

the right cheekbone looks like its another layer underneath with the opacity set to about 75%

Looks fine to me again, if anything maybe a slight touch of JPEG compression.

The image looks too low res to accurately cut out the figures and yet they look natural in the setting, reflections in the water of the Taj Mahal and the hairline all look fine and natural to me.

Looks right to me fill-in flash can sometimes make things look a little false...
