In the comments in question, the original poster simply says she "Took a screenshot directly of the NYT site," implying she didn't alter the photo, and all the person who posted about the differing photos replies with is "Thank you." Why the different photos existed, in the first place, is never accounted for.
no, go to the tweet and click on the picture. it links directly to the nyt page. You just cant see it because it's low res in the tweet lol
the guy in the tweet acknowledges his mistake in the replies
