real or not real photos on profiles?

[saruhrose (deleted)]

Well I love my camera and I take proffessional pictures.... so i mean not everyone can afford a nice camera. Ive had alot of people ask me if my pics are for real... and I have been offended. yes they are for real lol. but i mean... clearly you can tell if the pic is some famous or model. Idk maybe Im just rambiling... yes i have enhanced the color but they ARE REAL lol. Rant done =]

`True I just mean it is easy to tell the difference between proffesional ones and people that know image processing. Proffessional ones look a certain way

`Look, most of us take a bunch of pictures of ourselves (or have someone else take them for us) and then pick the one we look the best in. And in certain poses or with a certain expression, average looking people can look really really good. And I don't do this since I'm horrible at altering pics, but I know some people photoshop their pics. And if it's just to fix little things; like a funky strand of hair or smudged eye makeup, there's nothing wrong with that.

Just because someone is really good looking in their pic doesn't mean it's fake. It's a definite possibility, especially if the lighting is perfect or otherwise looks professional.
