It is a scan -I don't have the original.
I thought this might be a problem when I saw we could only upload from photobucket on this thread now.
I can open this in photoshop at full size and zoom in perfectly well and erase all the bricks - it's just that I'm not that good at it and don't know how to add a different background. Never mind and thanks for looking.Kat

It looks to me as if three photos have been combined to make one.
The main photo being the foreground the group four (2 females and 2 young men) on the right plus the children & dog in the front row.
A second contains the three adults on the left with the third being the individual young man in the centre.
The reason I think this is partly due to the tones/contrast and partly due to the three different angles of brick course.
I would also add that to remove the background brickwork would be to compound the fraudulent nature of the photo, unless a warning was added into the photo that it had been adapted.
The advent of Photoshop, etc. is creating a problem in family history by making dating difficult (due to introduced colourized photos and whitewashing history by removing or adding individuals to photos and “group” photos).
Many complain about erroneous connections in online trees but blindly ignore the, at the best confusion and at worst falsification of evidence due to manipulated photos.

Luckily, Guy, I do have other individual and children group photos for this family so not worried about the possibility that this isn't an authentic family group no matter how contrived.
The gate and window are in exactly the correct place (I know the house).
Because of the way they are grouped, I think they are two photos taken at the same session that have been put together because of some sort of damage to the two.
However, I appreciate your concern and agree one has to be wary of scans if you don't have the originals to back them up.Kat
