Cute pup

Can anyone tell if this is photoshop? I've never seen a dog this big. I got the picture in an e-mail.

It ppears to be a bull mastiff also called the Buster Brown shoe dog. Males can be very big. There is a touch of an illusion there due to the dog leaning forward of the girl.

Two of my sisters have Newfs. God they are beasts! But nice.

I say photo shop. Look at the girls hands on the dogs legs. They dont fit her body if you ask me.

Good point. Her right hand looks really big compared to her arm.

I disagree on her hand, looks normal to me even zooming up close. It's a pretty good job if it's a fake.

I had my brother pull the photo into photoshop and examine it down to the pixels and nothing appears out of the ordinary. He does this stuff professionally every day and has done some pretty good ones himself. He doubts it's fake but said it isn't impossible. Someone would have to spend a lot of time on it. And for what reason I guess....

the only evidence i can find in the entire image that is suspect, is the tiny white gap between the dogs ear and the head, to the right of the picture. Based on angles, you would see the top of that wall extending past the dogs head. But, when i zoomed in 700%, that white gap is nearly pure white, and when doing a color comparison between the white gap and ANYWHERE else on the bricks around the picture, there is a drastic difference.

So again, with photoshop, anything is possible. And if i had to guess as to what was done with this photo, i'd say that only the head was selected, and then slightly enlarged to give the optical illusion that this dog is gigantic. Even the dark shadow of the wall to the right looks like the body of the dog, but its not. Its the inside of the wall.

But to sit and do a master piece like this would be quite ridiculous. And as much of a waste of time as i have just spent evaluating the authenticity of this production. Thanks a lot, tashier.

Dude, you don't even have a reeftank anymore. Get off here and go back to your photoshop.

That brings your post count now to a huge '1'.
