<p>Roy Greenslade has the <a href="http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/greenslade/2008/02/photographer_admits_to_faking.html">background</a> on the above image:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>This award-winning photograph, showing a herd of endangered Tibetan antelopes apparently undisturbed by a passing train on the controversial Qinghai-Tibet railway, has been exposed as a fake. The image was widely hailed in China as a symbol of harmonious co-existence between man and nature. But photographer <strong>Liu Wei-qiang </strong> admitted it was a fabrication after commenters on a Chinese online photography forum questioned its authenticity.<br />
&#8220;The train was real, and so were the antelopes,&#8221; said Liu in a posting on the forum. &#8220;But the magic moment just didn&#8217;t happen even after I had waited for two weeks.&#8221; Therefore, he decided to merge together one picture of a passing train with another of the migrating animals &#8220;to raise the public awareness of antelope protection&#8221;.<br />
The merged picture was published by more than 200 media outlets around the world and won Liu a bronze medal in the 2006 Most Influential News Photos of the Year competition, sponsored by CCTV, China&#8217;s state television. Liu has now been dismissed from the <strong>Daqing Evening News</strong> in Heilongjiang province.</em></p></blockquote>
