Travel blogger Amelia Liana has made a career for herself doing what we all dream about: traveling the world and taking glamorous photos.
The Instagram star has more than 450,000 fans on social media, but recently the 26-year-old model's photos have become the focus of an online controversy that could sink her career before it really starts.
Liana has traveled around to world to glamorous location including New York City, Florence, Italy and Agra, India, taking snapshots along the way. But eagle-eyed fans have noticed some irregularities in her pictures.
The picture that has attracted the most attention is a shot supposedly taken from the top of the Rockefeller Center building. See if you can spot what's strange about the photo, which was supposedly taken just a few months ago:
For one thing, there's no view of the Freedom Tower, the tallest building in America, which was built years ago.
Plus, a close-up of the model's hand reveals some dodgy Photoshop. Instead of being reflected, the photo seems the show the back of her arm.
But this photo of the Taj Mahal has raised even more eyebrows. The shot has 4 glaring errors. Can you see them all?

Did you notice all 4 of the mistakes in this photo? Here they are:
For comparison, here's what the Taj Mahal normally looks like during the middle of the day. Notice the construction, and how hard it would be to take a solo picture. Maybe she politely asked everyone to move out of her shot?
Her shadow also seems to stop at the water's edge, and fans have found even more bizarre Photoshop effects in her photos. Take this shot for instance, where the model's head has turned see-through:
I mean I guess @AmeliaLiana_ head is transparent because you can see the trees and building behind her 😂 pic.twitter.com/XEl4R8bRjq

And this shot of her strolling down the suspiciously empty Brooklyn Bridge:
Compare that to what the bridge really looks like:
With the recent backlash, Liana has been forced to respond to her critics and the accusations of editing her photos. While the model insists she never edits her appearance, she admits to using technology to "tidy" the background to make her pictures more "visually inspiring."
Not all of her fans seem to like the way Liana makes her photos more "enriching," but others don't seem bothered that the "globe-trotting" model may be making some of her photos at home.
