Is this photo AI edited?

Saw this photo on the socials and when I zoomed in on the antlers and the trees in the background, something didn’t look quite right.

Zoom in on the tree and the antlers.

Is this photo AI edited?

Looks like it's been run thru a filter of some sort.

Filter is my guess.

Maybe AI will be good for hunting. Instead of influencers going out and poaching an animal, they can just photoshop a few good pictures of them on the hunt and call it a day. Buy some garage sale mounts and use those as the rack for the animal and call it a day.

I'm thinking filter. It does look odd.

 

[SD_Prairie_Goat]

Thinking filter too

Would AI leave a broken tip?

Would AI leave a broken tip?

Good point. Depends on how well it is learning

 

[Irrelevant]

it's just been stylized.

So in a way, yes, AI edited, but not to make it bigger

Filter?

 

[WapitiBob]

Filter?

I think "stylized" is better; look at the tree bark.

I’ve only been shooting/editing photography for a small time but it looks like they decreased clarity and increased texture a little to much I would say.. I personally hate what AI will do when it comes to hunting photography.

Totally ai, strangest looking goose I've ever seen.

The dudes knee doesn't look right and don't quite know what the plant is in the foreground. Maybe @Hunting Wife can chime in on the plant?

His fingers are all deformed as well. I would say Ai for sure.

Zoomed out, the growth form looks like some of that common juniper, which is indeed pretty common. But zoomed in it’s got the same weird textural issues as the rest of the photo so can’t see characters of the plant to tell.

Photo looks like a real photo, but I agree it’s had either a filter applied or has been run through one of those AI auto-tune style apps you see advertised all over the internet to “improve” your photos.

No i think it's just a nice elk!

I see a 30-06 Mauser wrapped in a towel.
