Huge sea-creature (oar fish?) I was sent this WTF photo. ATS Exclusive!!

I make films and people know I'm into all weird # and also into very believable hoaxes and one guy sent this photo to our film's website...



He says he was sent it by a back-packing friend of his and he says its real but I do not know him or his 'mate'. He said it was taken in Indonesia a few weeks ago. And it seems too cool to be true but I thought you all here might like it... real or fake.

I think fake... but a nice one.

wish it was not a photoshoped picture
but SNF because i love it

Obvious fake is obvious

Looks cool, but I have to agree with Ben:

to see how its coming out lol

The body looks like a tree trunk and the face was added.

Pretty cool looking though.

How did you do that?!

I love fun photos like this. Even though I'm sure it's fake, if not, could you imagine that thing swimming up on you on vacation? I remember doing a research paper on nessy, the lochness monster when I was younger and there is an absurd amount of sea monster believers all over the world. Fake pic or not, I'm sure there's big water monsters out there somewhere, or atleast used to be.

I also thought of a big tree trunk when I first looked at it!

A piece of driftwood with a PS fish face. Awesome.

the guy holding the creature and the guy on the other side both look like they are dragging a net position wise..like what is seen in the background..the whole creature has been photoshoped in

Heres the original picture sans monster fish from here

Brilliant!! How did you find that out!? I thought it looked like fishermen...

I kind of knew it must be fake but I'm impressed you found the original so quick... was that using the 'photo-tracking' software?

A simple google reverse image search.
Under the images tab in google you will see a little grey camera icon on the right of the search box, click that and put in the URL of the photo you want to find.
It will find "similar images" too

i uploaded the picture after clicking the camera icon on the right
and copied the url from ATS (right click on the pic then proprieties for the url)
but it found the same fake monster picture on 4 pages result
must have done something wrong

dunno how you got so many layers in his av

Nice one Dave, I was about to tineye it, but as it was already determined a Hoax, no point

but it's funny seeing some people instantly assume photoshop, offering not reasoning. and since us humans know everything inch of this planet, anything I've never seen with my own eyes, must be fake. lol

reply to post by davespanners


That actually worked out better than tineye, tineye 0 results. odd.

I've never trusted google, but that looks like they might have got something right!

ahah looks good
im on the top of the pyramid

what program is used to create all those layers ?
or is it a function with Windows 7 .. maybe linux or Apple ?
