    There's a lot of "photoshopping" in the pictures, but I agree that they're 2 different photos. Even the background is different... along with the lighting, etc. that people have pointed out.

    the background is probably dropped in.... that you can do with relative ease... the hardest part is getting it all behind the hair without making it look fake. The photos really are too low res to take a good look.

    Maybe with a huge amount of work you could smooth out the shorts as much as has been done, but it would be a big job to do it without making it look really unnatural...

    The lighting could never be changed so drastically.

    Smoothing out those shorts is easy, like taking wrinkles out of a face.
    Highlights can be added giving the effect of different lighting.
    I'm not great at Photoshop but I know some and I'm pretty sure it's the same shot.

    I'm a professional photographer, I can assure you that it is not.

    Sorry, but its not a matter of agreeing or not. You can disagree all you want, but that won't make it the same. It is a different photograph.
    Her head is at a different angle
    Her knee is overlapping her leg differently
    Her hair is blowing around
    Her gaze is more forward
    Her arm is lower
    The lighting is entirely different - trust me not photoshop effect made can do that....
    if I look more I could probably go on...

    I won't disagree that the final product was altered, but the second one did not start out as the first.

    I'm the Queen of England, and I say it's two different shots.




    but yeah they did a lot of Photoshop-ing anyway.
