this manatee looks like it’s in a skyrim loading screen

#I encourage anyone dyslexic to try rotating him in your mind. I can’t do that; which is why I’m asking you to.
#also: a bunch of tags are surprised this isn’t ‘shopped
#it’s the lighting. backlit by the sun (which is diffused through the water) but also forelit artificially
#the artificial light - a flash pack or something - casts a hard shadow under the creatures arm
#which normally wouldn’t be possible if backlit by the SUN; you’d see a less-hard/more-fragmented shadow above water
#as light sources ‘compete’ in a sense - and since there aren’t any light sources which can outshine the literal sun
#it looks a bit weird when the darkest shadow is being cast from any other origin point - which is what’s essentially happening here
#I don’t know the mechanics of how light travels through water; but I know the effect is substantial even with relatively short distances
#also: it’s been balanced and color corrected by the author of the photo - who made deliberate choices to bring out the full potential
#so it’s not like it’s a fresh and untouched export
#but the kind of ‘tacked on’ appearance of the creature is a result of the lighting conditions within the image
