Sitruuna is right, the perspective is all wrong and that's what bugs me personally most.

National Geographic will be issuing a statement shortly. They have been trying to reach the photographer to have him defend his work but he hasn't responded. I'll keep you posted.

The perspective is all wrong. You can tell at a glance. Really shameless of the photographer, and quite surprisingly inept of National Geographic. It casts doubt on the authenticity of all entries.

One can't expect to pull out of this without anybody noticing, so it's only a question of WHEN it becomes publicly known that it's a fake.
