What your seeing is real, the pictures has not been enhanced or edited in anyway or form. What is written in science books is about to be changed. Amazing issn't it!

Vertical Construction already! When did they start building MF Vertically?

I agree there.... that community.webshots photo looks more fishy than my mom's cooking. (That's pretty fishy!)

Edit: Pic #2... If that's a fake, I tip my hat to the person who made it.

Why is it so hard to believe it's real? I don't see anything about that picture that makes it "look fishy".

the supports that go on to the footers in Area 15 have support connectors at the bottom...so we would see angled support beams going between the supports....if you put the 2nd supports on the main supports...they would be ALOT higher then they are in the picture....This is what really gets me.

then again i could be wrong...but we'll just have to wait till this weekend and get pictures from a reliable source.

Looks real enough for me... and if it's not there will be more to prove what people are saying in two days.

"Your obssesed w/ that place aren't you?"

They look real to me. Plus, it sure would be alot of effort to get a shot at that angle, get shots of supports, [somehow] crop them or draw them into the picture. then again, some people...

It's times like these when we really need a construction cam.

Well I take back what i said. Look genuine to me, but man it's hard to take someone seriously when they make a post like the one originally on CBuzz.

Greetings, folks. I'm a lurker.

Anyway, I'm a self-proclaimed graphic designer with lots of amateur work under my belt but nothing professional. I've taken a long hard look at those photos and run them through a bunch of filters to look for irregularities. Thus far, I've seen nothing that jumps out as fake. That isn't to say it isn't, but as others have said, I'll tip my hat to guy who did it. With some work, I could definitely achieve that quality, but the angles and perspective on it are nearly flawless... but not impossible.

Gut feeling? Real...

Yes it's real. It's simply impossible to get the edges to blend like that with any photoshop. [I expanded it with my photo editor]

The way to tell if it's real or not, is to enlarge the picture. Take a close look at how the pixals flow. Now look at the areas were a possible cut and paste, or edit in could have taken place. If you see any abnormal transistions, or anything thats impossible, It's a fake. These photos don't have any of those characteristics.

And just to add on to my previous post, there is a distinct difference between the position and orientation of the crane in the two pictures. The shadows appear correct, as well.

It is not impossible. It's all about layers. If you are experienced with Photoshop (or any other professional photo editing software) you can make anything look real. Oh, it is pixel, not pixal.

I think those pictures look pretty real. The scale is almost perfect in relation to its surroundings. I would have thought that the supports at that level would have been bigger, considering the height that everyone is predicting. Just a thought….oh and sorry Magnum Force, I went off about the spelling.
