Nice one, but still a fake. Should be posted in the "Johnlock fan art" thread.

What is a manip, by the way?

It's the new word for "shopped" - as in "Photoshopped." Means it was manipulated.

I do not think it goes in Johnlock because it has no sexual preference content unless one reads that in. If it's a manipulated photo, it doesn't mean it isn't a favorite Sherlock/John picture.

It depends whether the thread is meant to be actual shots from Sherlock or not.

I think this thread should be for actual photos from the series. For manips, drawings and all other artwork we should use the fan art threads.

My thinking entirely.

I'm always happy to go along with any rules forum moderators set. I will point out that the OP said photos of Martin and Benedict, not Sherlock and John and did not limit it to photos from the show only.

From this thread: this is a setlock, for instance:

And this is - well, I s'pose it might be shopped!

Whatever the forum policy is, of course, is what we should follow.

Do you really think so? Didn't they have hedgehods somewhere in 221B? And otters?

**Posted by Davina** June 7, 2013 11:03 am

Eww! Hedgehogs! They look so sweet but they are covered in fleas!

The last one is not shopped of course. It's an original John/Sherlock picture.

"Laurel and Hardy"
Matching the couples on the painting in the background.

Some others screencaps I've just made:

One of my fav:

Still fascinated by Sherlock's hands, John?

The John is no lender

Love this one

Ha.... seriously, Punch! Love some of those moments...
Did someone mention hands?

**Posted by tobeornot221b** June 7, 2013 5:24 pm

Hands on a camera phone?

**Posted by SilverMoonDragonB** June 7, 2013 7:44 pm

Those are some incredible screenshots!

**Posted by besleybean** June 7, 2013 7:46 pm

Mysteria's one outside the Cross Keys is indeed photoshopped.

**Posted by Mary Me** June 8, 2013 11:08 am

I presume the very rest of the Sherlock/John pictures are photoshopped too. Hell, Photoshop will be the device for the next series!

Fantastic scene which these top actors play to perfection.

**Posted by tobeornot221b** June 10, 2013 9:28 pm

One from the library in TBB - perfect for a stamp or a coin...

**Posted by SusiGo** June 10, 2013 9:32 pm

Wow, great moment capture here.
