The most expensive photograph in the World was photoshopped! Can you guess how much it costs?

It may be a featureless, empty image of the Rhine river in Germany - but someone has just forked out $US4.3 million for it.

The photograph, taken by German artist Andreas Gursky in 1999, is now the world's most expensive After an auction at Christie’s New York. The record price for the 1.8- by 3.6-metre image exceeded pre-sale estimates of $US2.5 to $US3.5 million.
