This Photoshopped?

The Yukon is home to the largest moose in Canada, with bulls approaching 1,800 pounds and sporting antler spreads of nearly seven feet. Russia may have moose that are even larger.
 
It's fake. Shadows don't lie ( the moose isn't casting any in the second picture.....) the lines are off ( too crisp ) in the second picture.

I just get the "vibe" it's fake. ( how scientific eh.....lol )

Agreed

I saved the pic and zoomed in, you can see a lot of straight lines suggesting copy and drop.
 
I think the moose is real, but someone has photoshop'd the rocks! Look how the position doesn't change, and the shadows are lighter. The gravel is waaay too smooth a texture and is placed in an obvious attempt to look random. If you print the picture and look at it under a microscope all of the rocks on the path are one rock, rotated and copied! Plus, when I ran my fingers over the picture, they felt waay too smooth.:onCrack:
 
campfire or barroom stories?. Bring clients to your outfitting business? Heck If I knew an area with really large moose I'd keep it a secret.:D


The outffitter I understand(Stupid clients and their money are easily parted) but these recreational re-creations puzzle me.
 
So why would anyone want to make these animals appear really large?

I don't know.

But this doesn't appear really large, just a mature bull moose. It's nothing especially interesting. What is interesting is the amount of people that take the time to try to analyze the shadows, the light, the whatever and then say "FAKE" when the reality is if it IS fake or ISN'T fake it STILL is not anything remarkable.:p
 
This guy is for real. I sat beside the fellow that clicked the camera.
I tried in photoshop to get the tone and contrast right. Also cropped the picture to zoom in the moose, but nothing else.
In the original pictures the shadows, or lack of, on the road is the give away that the picture of the moose was transposed ont teh road scene.
And hey, this guy is just a central BC moose!

That's an impressive moose, and the antlers would score higher than in the first pic.

i agree it ain't large, just out of proportion.

I don't know about the shadows but their were 2 other images in the series that were not even close when i first saw it a couple of years ago.
 
Gatehouse, since I just retired last year from being a long time scorer with the BC Records Club, I have really gone over that picture for estimating a score.
I was estimating the length of his ear, as well as the length a large mooses head would be, and so on, then applying those figures to length and width of palm. The palm is measured around the outside, and includes the curve at the bottom. Looking at a flat picture, you have to guess at the curve.
I could easily come up with a score that would be high in the BC list. I don't think this fellow got shot, or we would have heard about it. It was in a hunted area, upper Parsnip River, not that far N/E of Prince George.
It was hunting season, September, I had the proper licence and yes, my 30-06 was in the rear of the aircraft! We had just taken off of the river, so I could have returned and gone after him (No regulation against it, at that time) but I was being paid to fly foresters around, not shoot moose!
 
look at the light on the ground that is shining through the trees. In the second pic the moose should be blocking the light.. he isnt. its fake.
