An interesting picture of a FW190A of III./JG1 in Denmark.
Original?

Photo 2. may be a combination of images.

1) Examine the buildings in the background, especially the roof and windows.
2) The two men by the propeller have drastic shadows. One man has no shadow on the ground.
3) Examine the area where the top of the background meets the sky.

I propose that the buildings are drawings, the differing terrain features were layered on, the figures were added on another layer, and the background earth meets sky was cropped and added. A Photoshop composite.

I'm not sure what Michael Meyer would have to gain by selling a fake given his reputation. I believe it's much more likely that the original is of lowish quality.

I agree. Just pointing out some odd features in the posted photo.

I agree with Steve. Both men have shadows one is combined with the Bf109E wing. The buildings are and look genuine to me. The sharp edges of all subjects do give the image an odd appearance but apart from that it looks okay.

Thank you, Tom.

Just keep scrolling down. Most are new to me.
