REGARDING THIS PICTURE

There are several different reasons why photographs might be declared "fakes":


* The photos have been fabricated or manipulated with digital editing software.

* The photographs are real and unmanipulated, but the accompanying explanation of what they represent is erroneous. *

* The photographs are real and unmanipulated in a digital sense, but some other type of misleading trickery has been employed. *

Which category do these photographs of a snake in a PC fall under? They don't show obvious signs of significant digital manipulation, but they might fit either of the other two categories -- the snake might not have crawled into the PC on its own but was "posed" there by the photographer, or the snake might not even be real (merely a rubber serpent). Or the photographs might actually be as described, as many types of snakes do favor warm, dry, and dark enclosures, and one might conceivably crawl into a PC for shelter. Without more to go on, we can't classify this one.
