well rather than ask if it's faked you could ask for the name and location of the church, it would seem less confrontational and you might be able to verify or not that way

just a thought

I suppose that would be one of the many ways of aproaching this. I'm sorry if I apear confrontational. But seeing as how the photographer in question is not a poster here I don't know who it is that I'd be trying to confront

Or there was more than one which are no longer in shot? Environment is enclose(I assume) and the talc would float in the air that much longer.

Just a thought anyway and would part explain the suggestion that the child with the spliff maybe puffing out instead of sucking in?

Or maybe the kid doesn't know how to smoke, someone handed her a spliff and she tried to copy the adults while the photographer grabbed the moment?

Sure seems more plausible than a (presumably) respected photographer risking their reputation by fiddling about in Photoshop.

i agree, if this is fake it would more likely be a staged thing rather than photoshop jobbie. IMO

I mean that if you ask someone whether or not they staged / faked a photo it's quite confrontational. It's like saying 'are you a liar?'

If you ask them for more information about the photo, e.g. where the church is, how old the children are, etc, you might be more likely to get a helpful response
