The symbiotic chains would simulate the appearance of a prehistoric organism but would dissolve rapidly under appropriate circumstances. Detection by submarine devices would be difficult at best. The variability in the photographs would be compatible with this theory<br />Leonard R.

Still looks like a flattish neck to me. If that's case, we have more photos of Nessie than dolphins.

I presume each of them came in from the sea and survived in fresh water at least long enough to reproduce.<br /><br />Good work on the photo research. It occurs to me that a photo could be taken with a higher resolution camera, photoshopped and printed (or even printed and then the print altered with a paintbrush) and the print rephotographed with the phone. There would then be no evidence of digital tampering with the final jpg. But I suppose that's a lot of trouble to go to for such a relatively unspectacular result.

I'm intrigued by the white markings on the "fin" - though a quick goggle search turns up many such excentric patterns (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p032hzc2/p032ht3j). It's intriguing to consider how such an animal made it's way to Loch Ness and happened to be captured by a random picture? Once again, wonderful and thought provoking analysis on your part. bfjordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526164970021554937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-14890730231408741832016-09-07T15:38:04.410-07:002016-09-07T15:38:04.410-07:00With all the thinking about what this thing is, I&...With all the thinking about what this thing is, I've sort of forgotten about the tantalising prospect that there is something in Loch Ness that shouldn't be there. It asks a lot of questions, and answers none. For my money, Photoshop was not used here. The tones of the water are too perfect for someone to muck it up and leave a blur around the 'fin'. The blur is something tangible. Blending tones seamlessly is quite a skill, and I'm not sure I could do it as well (and I do use PS every day). It certainly looks like a fin to me.Martin Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590190801760284564noreply@blogger.com
