    Definitely photoshop. The sun is over the E on the directional sign. :)

    It isn't over the E, the light is just strong enough to make it appear that way. Look closer at it and you can see parts of the E in front of it. The same thing happens to a lesser degree on the vertical post (lesser because that part is thicker)

    I'd question it because the foreground is in very sharp focus, even the bars towards the back of the tower are blurry. Surely then the sky would be blurry as hell in that case?

    Um, the sky IS blurry. As is the sun.

    I took a few very similar to that on Friday, but with birds and roof corners as I was nowhere near shandon. Sky even came out the same colour. I didn't 'shop mine.

    That picture was taken by Marcin Lewandowski. A fantastic photographer, so I wouldn't think that's it's been photoshopped.

    here's his facebook page https://www.facebook.com/soundofphotography

    Hi All, I just spotted this thread. Thank you KCAccidental for crediting me. I see this photograph doing rounds on the internet without any credit given but such are times... photographers are taken for granted... and naturally: we photoshop everything.
    Well, this photograph was not "photoshopped", whatever that means, I "kinda know what I am doing" with the camera so it was just a matter of getting settings right, checking path of the sun on the day, choosing location to make the shot possible and boom, ready.
    ;)

    Bang on Marcin about the credits. Saw your photo doing the rounds without any credit given whatsoever man! Was pretty annoyed (photographer myself) and messaged a few pages asking why they didn't tag you or your page. However, congrats on such an amazing shot, and the work involved, big respect man!

    It's very easy to say something's photoshopped without knowing the logistics of how the image was taken.
