SEA TURNS RED
I just don't buy it. Check out this picture from Sea Shepherd Conservation Society:



The sea has turned red with the blood of slaughtered Dolphins. That red is awfully bright, and looks like a bad photoshop job to me, but I guess I could be wrong. To see what can be accomplished with photoshop, check out Worth1000, where people compete at image fakery.

If not fully faked with photoshop, the color was clearly pumped up for release. Here's a Sea Shepherd photo carried by the AP.



Now see this similar picture from the Sea Shepherd website.



Notice how the fisherman's pink shirt turned red for the AP photo. At the very least, someone has manipulated the color for dramatic effect. I suspect that there has been even more manipulation than that. Wouldn't you expect such bright red water to cast a pinkish glow on the white boat and the grey rocks? The water just seems out of place. And I surely don't know what to make of the water color in this picture, also from the Sea Shepherd website.



Wanna see how big this cove is? The one that turned so red? Go to the Sea Shepherd site for all the pictures.
