AUSTRALIAN GREAT WHITE SHARK ATTACK ON FAMILY - Is this Photo Real or Not?

Published by Lars at 1:38 pm under Crazy and Strange

So I’m assuming that the reason you’re here is because you’ve read the story of the family vacationing in Australia and seen the picture of the couple scuba diving with the massive great white shark coming up behind them. If not, you can click here, to read the story. Much like I did I’m sure you’re wondering, “Is this photo real or not?”, and in this age of digital manipulation it’s a appropriate question. And perhaps, much like me just a little part of you hopes it’s real. Well I hate to burst your bubble because all things considered, the photo is a fake!

    O.K. I figured it was faked. But it was kind of fun to consider the possibilities before arriving at that sad but inevitable conclusion. It has (the foto) a very prehistoric flavor to it-as if the folks in the fore ground had wandered into the Jurassic era or something; the feeling one might have if one stepped into a clearing and observed a T-rex facing you from 30′ away. Wouldn’t you just pee your pants? At the very least. At any rate, I give the foto Dr. points for imagination-this pic is much more plausible looking at first glance than the one of the Australian navy diver ascending the rope ladder to the helicopter (an enormous great white is breaching the water and appears to be preparing to snatch the diver off the ladder) which looks faked for sure. So there it is. Another phony on the web. Entertaining though.

    Absolutely well said David… I must admit that I feel the same way. While this photo has been proven to be fake it does illicit a certain amount of imagination that’s intrinsic to us as humans. Great white shark attacks are one of the best possible topics to cover simply because each and every one of us absolutely fears such an attack. Though this picture is fake, noticeably much better than the mentioned “rope ladder assault” picture, it still brings a certain interest amongst us… The traffic to this topic on my site alone represents that…. It’s easily one of the more popular posts on this site… In any event David, thank you for the post and your thoughts… God help us all if such a shark does exist! They truly are the most perfect predators on the planet….

    this is sooo fake they look way to young to have a 13 year old son ( which is requirmet for certafication of scuba ) also they must have been very deep for no on else on the boat to see them

    you can kind of tell that it’s fake because in the doctored photo there is the light ripples on the shark but not the people, if it was real there would be at least a slight reflection of light on the divers…
