whattya think?
Monday, March 31, 2008
A reader of my column in Chicago sent me this photo insisting it is real. I say Photoshop. (To which she responded "...sorry you can't accept the truth.") Shouldn't there be water streaming from the whale? Wouldn't the woman standing there be a wee bit startled? ("Her name is Dianna...")
What say you?

At first glance, I would have agreed it was "photoshopped", but I blew up the picture several times until I could see the pixelation smoothly. I didn't see any rough edges that you might sometimes see in made-up pics; also the hair of the blonde lady (lower left)is blowing in the wind and you can see the mammal through the strands of hair.
It might be "real", but I would also think it is more optical illusion making the people in the foreground appear much closer to the whale.
I am certainly not an expert, but I do like to play with my own photo editing software.

That's a pretty dry whale, although he may have been chatting a while with the people on the boat which could explain the dryness.
