I saw press prints here (Oz) of the fireman carrying the child with
flames/smoke directly behind, although still a tight shot. There was some
discussion about the morality of adding the background for dramatic effect
on another list (Photoforum) which is why I was aware of the manipulation.
It would appear that the press used the altered print in the US as well and
that your source displays the original.
