Great sequence! But the second shot looks totally photoshopped to me! For many reasons, including why is the white balance in 1 and 3 the same but 2 totally different? The light wouldn't have changed appreciably. And obviously the photographer wouldn't have had a chance to change it. Also the rear splash looks very suspiciously "soft". Plus all the other reasons already mentioned. Call me an old cynic but if it looks too good to be true than I can't help thinking that it probably is …
Did anyone see that sequence of the cranes falling off the quay that did the rounds a while back… Spent ages trying to work out where the mends were, never did find out but equally fake methinks. Good job though!
Edit: since I wrote my post I see Deckies Feet's post above. Fair enough, if you saw it yourself, I'm willing to take your word for it (and I look forward to more corroborating photos - a good one would be the guy being helped out of the water with a broken shoulder… )
PS Why are the photos different formats? If you have the originals Carl what does the EXIF say?
