I too have seen the photograph that's being referred to here. To a degree I
think it's irrelevant whether it is posed, manipulated or whatever, since it
captures perfectly the occasion and the mood of the time.

                ===================
                Eisenstaedts negative set has been printed showing the
sequence of shots
                leading up to and including the one used. The strip is
continuous and this
                is definitely not a "posed" shot. In addition both the
sailor and the nurse
                have been interviewed on camera in NY recently - this was
their only
                encounter- and it was spontaneous. Can't believe some people
will go to
                these ends to discredit a photographer.
                ===================

                that is odd in that I saw an interview of that sailor right
after 
                Eisenstadt died claiming specifically that it was posed.  IT
was
                also reported widely in several regular newspapers.  I
wasn't
                going to any lengths to discredit a photographer, just
reporting
                what I had heard.  If the information I got was bad, I'm
sorry for
                that.  Unless this person claiming to be the sailor was an
imposter,
                though, his statement that I read was pretty unequivocal
that it was posed.
