Authentic Nebula - a photo on Flickriver

Authentic Nebula

            The notion of authenticity, here, is ambiguous.  Both ironic and actual a cloud is, indeed a nebula however it isn't a nebula in astronomical terms.  The ambiguity extends into the process of photomanipulation, where a cloud (actual) is edited to resemble an astronomical nebula (ironic or representational).  

Furthermore, from a Postmodern perspective, authenticity becomes a representation of authenticity which creates an immediate ambiguity.  If something that is real, genuine, is not real and genuine then how are we to understand what is real and what is false?
