What do you reckon, Real or Fake?

Post by **Meataxe** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 4:44 pm

judging by the bored expression on that chick's face I'd say fake

Not sure but I could see it being possible it's not like they've got a couple of pure blood pitbulls on the little boat now is it?

real

although the lady in the background looking bored is a very good reason to say its fake, i just think its real because i dont see why someone would create a fake picture like that?

i think it could very well possibly be fake but im sayin its real purely on my reasoning that i cant see a reason for someone to fake a pic like that?

The fin type thing to the left of the dolphin (as we look at it) is that it's flipper type fin (ie tail)?
The chick could look bored as they do it all the time and she just wants to get back and go shopping.
The dolphin is light yet the guy with the smoke is dark?
I don't think the 2 noses are touching, that could be a distance Vs angle thing!

I'm 99% convinced you don't know what you're talking about.

1./ Water colour in the foreground is too bright/clear compared to the water colour in the background.

2./ The hull of the boat is not visible under the water line.

3./ The cropping around the top of the darker coloured dog's back leaves it looking too straight.

4./ The lighter coloured dogs front leg is up near its ear/eye wtf?!?

5./ There is some type of bizarre shading on the water above the arm/steering wheel of the driver of the boat.

i can't tell if you were joking or not. anyway heres my reply

1. the water in the foreground is in focus, the water in the background is out of focus. naturally

2. the camera is taken at a low angle so because of light reflection and refraction etc, there is nothing interesting about that. anyway you can see a bit under water at the front (left of pic)

3. too straight? you havn't zoomed in on this pic have you

4. haha, it does look a bit like that. if it is, so what, dogs do that. otherwise its just strange marking on the dog

5. firstly i can't see what your talking about, and secondly, why would there be anything sketchy about that part of the pic if this were faked????

also the reason the guys shirt is dark in comparison to the dolphin is because the guy is leaning over, hence its in the bloody shade. is the dolphin in the shade? NO

You can even see the reflection of the guy on the shiny head of the dolphin for christs sakes.

in the words of napoleon dynamite
GOSH!

a while ago there was something similar except it was a vid with some whale landing on a canoe...anyways there was this site that clarified if it was real or not mabye you could send this in to the same site and get a real answer. (problem is i dont know the name of the site is

)...... Macca vs. Snakes..who will win

whats dat etchy fin in the water

i have a suspicion that if it is fake it is a shark swimming up next to a boat. the dude is looking over the edge at it, the dogs are barking at it and some blokes pasted a photo of the dolphin over it.

but besides that im pretty sure this one's real. the water around the dolphin looks to be plausible, like the splash and everything.

but hey if macca and snake wanna battle it out im ready for some blood sweat and tears.........

an urban legends reference page.
