Why is it that people keep posting such lousy photoshop'd pictures on the web?

What makes people such an expert on whether this photo is "photoshopped"? In actuality, according to snopes.com, this is a genuine authentic photo taken off the coast of South Africa, where great whites are in abundance and was part of a shark research project. Please do your research before making such sarcastic comments, Bob. Whether this was a factual photo or not, enjoy the spirit for which it was posted, not criticize it.

Well, judging by the looks of the bottom portion of the picture where the water all doesn't quite match, that's what I'd say was "photoshopped". Besides, I have seen this picture numerous times, even on here. It gets old.

All stricly IMO, of course
BTW, I did look at the Snopes (just now) I stand corrected

I like it. That's freakin' hilarious. Scary at the same time though. I hate boats! Hear that James?! I hate boats!

You know your boat's too small when Roy Schnider walks backwards to you real slowly and says "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

Very cool, though. I'd love to be that guy.

I'm no "expert" in Photoshop, but I use it daily and have a lot of experience with it.
The photo looks pretty good to me. Consistant.
It's always hard to tell, though. People are REALLY good when they want to be. I'd take it as true.

Cool post!
