if it is a 3.8 meter kayak and a 4 meter shark, that doesnt look right. the kayak looks much smaller.
i dont think its photoshopped though because it would be pretty damn hard to photoshop something half in/half out of water.

yeah, the bubbles in the water would be almost imposible to do that good.

take into account that the kayak is farther away and at a weird angle than the shark..and the ripples/bubbles from the dorsal fin and the tal would have to be bearly impossible to photoshop

You wouldn't have to PS a shark into, you oculd just fuse both pictures, so I think it's PS'd.

its sooo easy to do that photoshop, you just need to find 2 pictures with closeto the same water colour, well, actually, just the same slarity, the water makes it 1534435436543456 times easier, just because the randomness of the ripples makes it impossible to find the fuse line even if its blurred the slightes. The new phtoshop is able to match colours, if i had cs2 and i had a picture of a kayak and shark, i couldahave the shark in with the kayak in 10 minutes

its real. read the article. its about scientists trying to figure out why these sharks are comming so close to the shore. they went out with cameras n shit on their boat. is it that hard to believe someone can take a picture of a shark and a kayak at the same time?

from the article posted above
'The image above displays, according to its caption, a kayaker "sitting in a 3.8-metre sea kayak and watching a four-metre great white approach." This photograph is genuine and was taken from a September 2005 Africa Geographic article titled "Shark Detectives," about researchers studying Great White sharks off the coast of South Africa.'

its real. buts thats wierd how the horizon doesnt line up

its just a reflection on the water. They wouldn't spend hours making it look real and then fail to color in one easy little spot.
