Hi Roger, Yeah, I think that would be the best question. The larger image really shows the quality of the shot and if its fake they did do a good job. It's hard to say because Stuff seem to support Hayley well in other articles. I think this debate will go on for quite a while. Emmett I don't think it's down to NZ Stuff - they seem to act as an Internet website for several NZ newspapers and this one originated from the Star-Times. But the photo is not a fake. As I said above, the Star-Times picture editor emailed me to confirm the authenticity of the photo and I do not believe he would tell a direct lie. As to whether or not it was altered in any way, I don't know. Photoshop was mentioned and I'd guess yes - but retouching digital photos is done all the time by the media. I think we must accept what the Star-Times told me: it's authentic.

I'm not overly concerned about re-touching. That is commonplace and more or less accepted. I am still sceptical that Hayley actually stood on the bed regardless of what Star-Times told you, Dave.
We will soon know for sure. If necessary, I will print a small version of it and ask Steve in Manchester. (I will not discuss it with Hayley for obvious reasons.)
Roger

I didn't vote either, and I think I need to apologize for getting a bit heavy-handed yesterday. I am perhaps overly fearful of history repeating itself in a way I'd rather it didn't, but I do not think it will here, despite some other fans' (not people here's) comments to the effect they'd like certain other fans to "load and clear."
If there are any issues, I am sure the lords of this site will handle them.

Hello again everybody! I'm glad I didn't vote in the poll because it seems so unnecessary. I'm quite sure that the imminent chart news about "Odyssey" will divert everybody's attention away from Hayley's image and on to her amazing talent! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifApology accepted, Steven. Bye for now, Richard

Can I just quietly creep in here and close this argument? The outfit Hayley is wearing in this picture... ...looks the same as what she's wearing here: ...which proves the first picture's genuine. That should end all doubts, and I'd rather we didn't start again. After all, Hayley's just Hayley, right?

Well said, someone!! I think that is justification for saying - discussion over. Keith.
