I always hated working on ships when idiots would pull in front of us. Big boats can't stop quickly. Stay out of their way. They have the right of way.

Sorry to side against the little guy.

I have no doubt the picture is photoshopped just by looking at the content, however you can't conclude that the picture has been photoshopped simply by the perspective distortion. You can create perspective distortion right out of the camera and people have been doing this well before photoshop and digital photography.

The dingy in this picture could be a thousand yards away from this boat, yet the zoom makes the boat seem right on top of it.

Pictures lie, folks.
