Of course it is, everyone knows whales ignore the colour yellow

[–]JeffreyRodriguez 1 point2 points ago

Everyone knows that.

Did the pixels give it away?

[–]rexallia 1 point2 points ago

In case anyone cares, this is a humpback whale. Humpbacks are filter feeders and eat mostly krill (tiny shrimp) - note the baleen plates on the upper jaw. Why anyone would photoshop this is beyond me. Would be way cooler if it were a killer whale.

This my friends is photo shop

[–]DapperSonavabitch 2 points3 points ago

Very bad, horribly done, 5 year old, down syndrome, photo shop done during an earthquake, while house was on fire.

That's what I call effort right there. Must have had balls of titanium to do that, while experiencing so much.

GRANDPA NOOOOO!!

[–]thor214 0 points1 point ago

Not too bad of a shop, except for the disregard for physics (propagation of waves in a Newtonian fluid) and biology (body of water is freshwater [based upon the trees that are not tolerant of saltwater], the body of water would ALMOST certainly be too restrictive to let a large whale emerge at that angle with that much force).

Now I'm no whale expert but I'm pretty sure that whales don't get this close to shore

FLAWLESS VICTORY

[–]Journalisto 1 point2 points ago

Well, if you consider my conversational interjection a flawless victory then I would like to give my speech.

First I would like to thank Frankenstien23 for giving me the inspiration and second I would like to thank Google for providing such a wonderful service. Lastly, I would like to thank my loving wife for watching TV in the other room and leaving me alone with Reddit just long enough to win.

I once had a gray whale swim under my fishing boat when i was barely 20 feet from the shore

[–]Frankenstien23 0 points1 point ago

I love learning. And whales!

[–]Barb-Beardskii 0 points1 point ago

However Salmon on Bear attacks, are much more fucking rare.

[–]RequiemStorm -3 points-2 points ago

It's like he is being flanked by giant lake vaginas. weird.

[–]trigg73 -2 points-1 points ago

It's like Jonah and the whale, but real!

[–]vexiepants 5 points6 points ago

*also not real.

[–]1985jack000 -2 points-1 points ago
