FN's Feasting on Waves site is bugging me!

As I await seeing FOW on TV I'm looking at the offical site and the nice videos on there, but something is bothering me about the site. Has anyone noticed there's a problem with the pic of Alton?

This one:


That birthmark on his left cheek is actually on his right in the pic!
Someone's been playing with Photoshop or he's got a dirty face!

In my pic, its on the left cheek:


Okay, I'm weird for noticing, but now everytime I go to the site I notice it!!

They probably just flipped the photo. Getting things to lay out correctly and look balanced can be tough on a website ... trust me, been there done that.

Yep, its probably because they wanted his pic to lead the eye into the page. I remember that from graphic design, the layout is left to right for best results.

I guess the designer didn't notice AB's face isn't the same on both sides!

Then they don't know who they are dealing with here. When there are enough fans out there to band together as a group and form a fan site, we are GOING to notice.

Hey that's a good eye! haha I've seen the birthmark before but would have never realized it was on the wrong side. Yep, the image has to have been flipped, probably to make it workable for the website.

Not only is the birthmark on the wrong side, but his shirt is buttoned wrong. The flap on a shirt goes from left to right, not right to left. Definitely been flipped.
