The original image appears on the right. The cropping takes out the boom that Obama is examining on the shore. The effect created is that his head is hung in sorrow or defeat. The crop itself creates a strong effect, and would be seen by most people I think as "fair play." By taking the woman out of the image it removes the original from reality altogether. It isolates the president in a slumping, isolated pose - a moment that may have ever happened. At this point the editor may have just as well replaced the background image with a shot of the burning well. It would not have been much further of a leap...
