This pic (just one in a series of eight or so) was hotly debated in another forum a couple of years ago. Actually, i was the one doing most of the debating. I could not understand why so many people seemed to insist that this HAD to be a fake. I did a fair amount of analysis and concluded it was 100% real (OK, possibly touched up lightly, but not with action inserted).
There are several pics that go in series. It is very unlikely anyone would take the time and effort to fake eight pics, let alone one. The sequence and timing of the action coupled with the crowds reaction is all coordinated and believable. I remember making the point that at some point in the series, there was a time lag where the photographer moved closer to get a better view. This would not be consistant with a faked series, where presumably the photographer would not have been taking pics of anything noteworthy.
No one offered any legitimate reason or proof that this was all a fake. They simply could not believe that this could happen on a beach anywhere. I suggested it was from Spain, possibly Barcelona. Barcelona is a city known for its red light district, its sex shows, and for hosting the nastiest adult expo on the planet. Sex in public? - they seem to be somewhat use to it....
So, the pic stays unless someone can actually PROVE its fake, rather than just refuse to believe its real
