Ok...so i'm bored and have a temporary shark obsession.  I do like that first shot though.  I put in the last one so it would have something to do with motorcycles.

Is D.) really a shark? It almost looks like it has the white patch above its eye like that of an orca.

D; look at the shape of the tail... its a dolphin, but holy crap if I was that surfer.......        

D is no dolphin...dolphins aren't 12 feet long

I like dolphins...but I don't know of any that frequent shallow waters to feed...orcas and sharks will beach themselves to get a seal...the water does play tricks on the mind...I know...I used to be in the Navy...

Quote from: scratchI like dolphins...but I don't know of any that frequent shallow waters to feed...

Down along the Gulf coast dolphins play in the surf zone all the time... I'm not sure if they are feeding or just playing.  I have paddled within 15 feet of them just a couple hundred feet off the beach.  D is absolutely a dolphin.

PS, average size is 10 feet, 450 to 600lbs, but they can get up to 14 feet long.

A. Awesome pic. Showcases the sheer power of such a great predator.

B. That is one awesome paint job! Really cool idea. Very reminescent of the P-40 warhawk "Flying Tigers" of World War 2. Looks great on a bike.

C. On an open-face helmet? Ummm...not so cool. Would look really good on a full-face though.

D. If anyone has ever seen a dolphin with such a sharp dorsal fin and long thin tail, please let me know. Those are some of the main visual characteristics that separate a shark from anything else: the sharp dorsal fin and the long, slender body leading to the tail. The sharply-pointed nose is a pretty good indication too. Pretty much everything else has a head that kind-of slopes down with more of an arch to it than a straight line and a stubbier, rounder body. Plus, the tail looks vertical. Long on top, short on bottom. Shark tails are vertical, Dolphins' are horizontal.
That's definitely a shark.

E. Someone has way too much time on their hands. Cool idea, not a cool execution.

Nice post.  I have that Wave/Surfer/Shark one on my PC. Probly use it for a background one day.

DOH!! Sorry bout that!

Chevelle, go to www.surfshooter.com -the copyright address on the photo... the photographer says its a dolphin.

Here's another picture later in the same series.  I think it's clear that it's a dolphin.



This is the website of the photographer:

Apparently, posting a link wasn't enough.  

This is a pic (see the link I posted) from when d: emerged from the water.
