A prolific travel blogger has been accused of posting doctored pictures of herself in beauty spots around the world.

Amelia Liana was caught out when she shared a picture of herself in New York on Instagram.

Her followers spotted there was something amiss - her image was purportedly taken at the top of the Rockerfeller Center in Manhattan, but the four-year-old Freedom Tower was nowhere to be seen.

Amelia Liana posted a picture of herself purportedly from the top of the Rockerfeller Center in New York in May, but her followers quickly spotted that the four-year-old Freedom Tower was missing from the skyline

Eagle-eyed users questioned why New York's Freedom Tower was not included in the image, and analysis by The Times picture desk found the blogger's image had been superimposed over an old image of New York

The Freedom Tower is a prominent feature on the New York skyline, but did not appear in a picture posted by the blogger on May 25

One wrote: 'Cute! That's pre-World Trade Center (the new one) though...the skyline is very, very different now.'

And another wrote: 'Why is this skyline completely photoshopped? The buildings are different now.'

A further comment on the image said: 'Thats not what NYC looks like...and your reflection in the mirror isnt reversed...its just copy and pasted on top...'

Alongside the image, posted on May 25 this year, Liana wrote: 'What a welcome to NYC #TopOfTheRock'

Experts from The Times picture desk confirmed that an image of the blogger had been superimposed over an old image of New York.

Another image that raised questions was this one, of her in front of the Taj Mahal. Among the issues commenters had were missing crowds, the absence of scaffolding and the fact her shadow stopped at the edge of the water

Another picture that raised questions was an image of Liana in front of the Taj Mahal in India.

Noticeable by their absence were the crowds of tourists usually seen at the tourist attraction.

Also missing, eagle-eyed viewers spotted, was scaffolding at the side of the landmark, and her shadow stopped at the side of the water, suggesting a picture of her had been superimposed.

Referring to a flock of birds in the image, one commenter wrote: 'It's actually ridiculous how much you photoshop your content. The fact that you've EDITED IN these birds.'

Another posted: 'This is hilarious. Do (sic) badly edited.'

The 26-year-old Londoner, who frequently posts pictures of beauty products and merchandise such as Gucci handbags on her Instagram account - which has nearly 450,000 followers - has been contacted for a comment.
