Several buildings are demolished in Shenzhen in this file photo which won a top prize in this year's China International Press Photo Contest in 2005. The photo is suspected to be a fabricated one. The photographer admitted that the photo is a combination of two, but said he had disclosed it to the organizers and quoted some old photo textbooks as saying that combination of photos taken at the same period is acceptable, the Shanghai Morning Post reported.

The photo by the same photographer is published on a Shenzhen newspaper in May, 2005.  [eastday.com]
