To address the original question:
Not enough information was given to form a conclusion.
-Was there an attempt to deceive?
-Could a false impression have been made, even inadvertently?
-Did the alterations change the entire meaning/context of the picture?
-Was there a false portrayal of the number of people in the yeshiva?
A Google search brought up the original picture and its subsequent alteration.
The yeshiva is very well-known.
Here are the facts.
1) The picture was taken from above the bais medrash using a fisheye wide-angle lens. No individual is recognizable.
3) I would estimate there are about eighty tables in the photo with all but two or three occupied by learners.
5) The blue shirt is in the left foreground.
6) The altered table is in the right foreground.
7) There are a couple of empty tables in the left background that were left unaltered.
Based on my experience as an amateur photographer and videographer, here are my conclusions:
-A tempest in a teapot.
-Much ado about nothing.
-Making mountains out of anthills (not even molehills).
