I found this at [link]
"Doctor and photographer Erdal Kinaci has been arrested when his photograph winning the world champion prize of National Geographic turned out to be photomontage.
Kinaci has been arrested for "taking photos of the handicapped by deceiving and combining these photos via photomontage."
Kinaci works as a doctor as his major profession and is the chairman of Anamur district health group.
Kinaci won the category people National Geographic contest 2006 with his photo with the title "the street whorehouses".

So he does manips but saying that they are not manips. Is this correct?? Or is the news media not saying the truth.
