Real or faked?

Okay, I'll say it's a fake. Someone else will say noooo, it's reality and this thread dies after two responses. So why don't we change the question to something like; guess the temperature of the air and water? After that, we can have a go at the humidity.

Is what faked?

 

[Spyro]

fake.. the bow wave has been added later.

Someone's grumpy this evening; or is it morning where you are?

 

[boatbuilder]

If the pic was taken with a long lens the yacht could be on the safe side by a mile.

The yacht crews Mustos are fakes ,clever copies imported from China.Also the ships captains sunglasses arent genuine Oakleys.He got them off an African street trader in Alicante /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Me grumpy? Only when the local has run out of Jack Daniels. They haven't too date.

So what was the humidity?

 

[landlockedpirate]

I'll say fake.

Reflections look a bit dodgy.

 

[Lakesailor]

Not a problem. The yacht is much further away and for all we know just put a tack in to avoid coming into conflict with the ship.

The ship was there in the pic as the rather atmospheric tones match nciely, but I do have issue with the tsunami at the bow and nothing at all along it's flanks.

Fake - you can see the touched up area from the foc'sle to the water.... it arcs out from the top, and back in to the bottom.

 

[Porthandbuoy]

A mixed bag of answers but the e-beers go to Boatbuilder and Lakesailor. There's no photoshoppery at all. just a longish lense. The ship is just completing a dead slow, 90 degree turn to port and the yacht is safely beyond it's reach.

Graham is dead wrong. It was 20+ degrees in the shade so no Mustos, fake or otherwise, were being worn (You could be correct about the ship's captain's sunglasses).

Stingo: Humidity was a bit on what we in Argyll consider the low side as it wasn't pissing down with rain.

She always fakes it whether she's on a boat or not.

That's possibly because you fake foreplay.

That is the effect of the bulb bow and I am pleasantly surprised by how little wash such ships make at estuary speeds compared with some relatively tiny mobos and those bl00dy tugs. Particularly bad are the new Calmac Bute ferries that appear to have the hydrodynamics of a brick and the metacentre of a towerblock.

I cant quite place the view Mariposa.

Seems familiar but is it Cowal or Cove?

Don't tell everyone our little secret.

 

[LadyInBed]

What a lot of silly fakers!

How did you get the ship to go uphill?
