Isn't that an impressive picture! Now let me show you some magic, first I'll make the helicopter, bridge and shore disappear. Ta da!
Now I'll make the shark disappear, and the helicopter, bridge and shore reappear Ta da!
Can you see what it is yet? Yes, the first one with the 'shark and helicopter in the same frame' is a composite, a faked picture!
If you receive a message about this then please ignore it and don't pass it on as this only serves to propagate it.
