Emma Watson's Missing Leg: Photoshopped Or Not? (PHOTO, POLL)

We thought the most exciting part of Emma Watson's new campaign for Burberry Spring/Summer 2010 was that she was photographed alongside her brother Alex. There's nothing better than a fashionable family act.

But one of the pictures caught our (and Buzzfeed's) eyes when we realized that Emma may have lost a limb, all in the name of trench coats and plaid. Take a look:

What do you think?

Whether or not this is photoshopped, it's a bad picture to use since there IS ambiguity about where her leg went.

I think Tyra could have taught Emma a few things. Or atleast Janice Dickinson. And Nigel could have told Emma's brother how to NOT pose like a boy prostitute.

its a weird angle and doesn't look anatomically natural. I'm all for photo shopping blemishes and adding great lighting and contrasts, but why mess with basic human anatomy???? The human eye knows when something is not right, its wired into our DNA

I have a cousin who has had a leg removed due to cancer I don't understand this
picture is this there way of joking about a lost leg if it is its not funny to me.

My cousin has a hard day each and every day of her life so please explain this

The photo was definitely photo shopped, but I think her leg could just be behind his leg somewhere. They did mess with her left leg, her right arm, and her cheek bones though. Seriously photo shop guys...don't mess with perfection. Emma is already gorgeous. She doesn't need it.

She doesn't look happy, neither does he.

I think that's because Burberry was going for a more serious look. All the pictures are pretty serious.

well I would say her other knee looks pretty high up in her right leg, so I would say its just a non photoshopped photo

Ok, the Style page has become way to obsessed with photo shopping. We all know that ad's are photo shopped. By the way, I think in this case her leg is just bent. But seriously people - GET OVER IT!!! Jeez!

What a pointless question. Of course it's Photoshopped; the use of image enhancement software is standard practice in photography these days. I would venture that less than 1% of the images we encounter on the web or in print are "raw." Even if it's just contrast or color enhancement, sharpening, color grading, or pushing/pulling the exposure, most images are treated digitally before publication.

On a side note, this image has a sort of Hans Bellmer thing going for it; the missing leg is a wonderful example of disarticulation in surrealist art. Watson appears incomplete and broken. I'm all for more daring art, though it's not clear that the photog here had any lofty ambitions with this piece.

thank you for the explanation and for articulating my opinion perfectly!
its funny that people are defending it as "natural" - to what end?

Does this mean she's going to marry Paul McCartney?

She's footing her brother. What's the big deal?

What ever she's doing , he doesn't look too happy about it.

Being fisted is tough enough! Being footed...wow!

You have to look extremely cool. That means not only do you not smile, you don't even look alive.
