Yes I think the argument was convincing. The part about the left hand closing was enough fact for me to believe the photograph was real. It is human nature for the body to adjust itself to protect the person. So with the soldier’s hand closed, I believe the photograph is real. In the end, real or not, I think the photograph had a powerful statement either way. It doesn’t have to be real to bring out the statment. All it needs is a good photographer.
