    real or not?

    The photo was taken at the entrance to Katlian Bay at the end of the road in Sitka , Alaska ...... The whale is coming up to scoop up a mouthful of herring......... (the small fish seen at the surface around the kayak). The kayaker is a local Sitka Dentist. He apparently didn’t sustain any injuries from the terrifying experience. The whale was just around the corner from the ferry terminal, and all the kayaker could think at that moment in time was: "Paddle Man - really fast!"

    Fake. No reflection of the kayaker.

    Fake I reckon. Copy it and blow it up - I see a lot of artifacts around the yellow paddle blade.

    For me a fake. The position of the right hand blade of the paddle would mean that it was half way down the whale's throat. And there's not enough upward movement of the kayak to suggest that a 40 ton whale has just surfaced underneath it.

    Good try though!
