For such a horrid retouch, I'm surprised to learn this is what the advertiser does.
Concept is interesting, but this execution makes it fall flat on its face.
The best ideas come in one size: big!
Agree. It's an extremely obvious and bad lighted and excesively contrasted... For execution, the Jump version it is a better one.

You live in wich world? that pic is REAL, the agency only RETOUCH it
parents throwing their kids out of the window. who calls this a good image? what's next, jews being gassed? "only life produces better images"
This misses the point, completely. A genuine Benetton-effect; show something shocking so people may think it's really interesting and deep... Yawn.
That´s a real photo... that realy happened... it is not retouch
c'mon... it even looks like they used unsharpened scissors to cut it!! Neither the "mother" or the "father" are looking directly at the baby, there is no motion blur, and the baby has a little grin!!

water: couldnt find it but i guess its real too.
But still i am not amazed by this idea.
Many thanks for your investigation. Open my mind, and, from the beginning reminds me that all those photos no photoshop was done. Kudos for U!
I agree with u people, its nice concept.. but the thing is little bit retouched by original photo. its sure.. but overall its nice.. keep it. up..
