it’s photoshopped, they got a picture of the pool when it was empty and a picture when it was full and the kid was jumping in. it’s easy enough to splice them together.
:/ You ever been in a pool? Takes more water than a little bit at the bottom to reflect like that. And you can plainly see that there is no water *at all* in that pool.
can’t skateboard on tile – that pool is tiled. and as feckineejit points out, his back is the wrong shade of blue. Also – his shadow is at the wrong angle from him – look at the angle of the other shadows – light always travels in a straight line.
You’re forgetting how high-speed shutters work in cameras, at least for older TTL film cameras. When you set the exposure to 1/2000th of a second, the camera does not “open” the entire frame for that long and then close it. The camera uses a sliding open curtain and a sliding close curtain. The faster the exposure, the smaller the open strip between the two curtains, thus approximating the desired shutter speed. There’s a photo in several “how to take photos” books showing a batter hitting a fastball, while the shadow shows a few inches separating them. This is just an artifact of having the open strip in a horizonal line for that photo.
Yeah, and have you noticed there’s actually 1 1/2 shadows in that pool? One just below the kid and half just above the shadow on the far side the pool where the light doesn’t reach.
I second that note… you can clearly see the blue ‘glow’ or the pool water… then they either snapped a photo while it was empty or just pulled one off the net and fudged it…
This looks like someone just photoshopped a skateboard out, but I can’t tell if the distortion near and underneath his feet is just crappy jpeg compression or photoshop. It appears to be a fake, but I cannot say for sure. He could be doing a backflip. Oh and the reflection on his back is from the tiles in the pool. The pool portion of the picture has not been photoshopped.
Yes, it’s fake. However, about every 4th or 5th picture on this site is, so I don’t know what the fuss is about. And yes, I work with adobe photoshop for a living.
lol theres no skateboard, its fake, the pool isnt even the same one he jumped into, his body was cut out of a diferent picture, rotated, put on an empty pool pic, then it was copied, made all black (some transparency) with some blur and stretched slopily on the wall. kinda easy to tell when u make a lot of photoshops yourself….by the way he has a very cyan type glow on his back that wasnt removed…
It’s photoshopped. His shadow on the side of the pool is an EXACT match for his profile (although elongated a bit). If the sun and the photographer were at different angles, then he’d have different profiles in each direction.
As an art student who knows a thing or two about photoshopping, this is obviously a fake – you can tell because look at the reflection on the kids back – its a turquoise lighting, just like pool water. Whats below him, of course, is not the same color. And tile would not reflect light like that.
There are artifacts on the pool tiling, but not visibly in the rest of the picture. Also the border between the pool edge and the tiles is sharper than the rest of the picture. Obviously someone took two pictures, one with water, one without, and cut and pasted the tiled section into the first picture, which had already been saved once with a loss of quality, hence the artifacts in that section upon saving it with a second loss of quality.
Really some people here should open their eyes, OF COURSE there is no skateboard shadow… because there is no skateboard at all. This shadow that everyone seem to take as a skateboard come from the tube in front of the kid… just open your eyes.
There is nothing that can tell it’s actually photoshoped for sure.
Who cares if it’s photoshopped? Besides, if you haven’t noticed, the tiles in th e pool are blue, but, I will admit that the shadow is in the wrong place, but a ton of these pics are photoshopped.
This is obviously not fake. I mean, how could anyone be that good on macintosh. I can’t believe that a macintosh or a windows personnal computer was used to distort the reality in such a way. Even more, there is a shadow of the small kid reflecting on the pool side. How can a shadow be reproduced so perfectly? This is simply a non-sense.
Anyways, the poor kid probably spent a long time in the hospital, if not in the cemetary. I sincerely hope that he survived, and let that be a message to the real failures of today : the parents.
shoop
Doop
doo-wop
shoop da whoop
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i wonder what that kid was like when he saw that the pool had no water?
it’s photoshopped, they got a picture of the pool when it was empty and a picture when it was full and the kid was jumping in. it’s easy enough to splice them together.
damn you, you stole my ‘it’s photoshopped’ thunder
Well, you can see the color of the water reflecting off his back.
No, silly. Thats his alien side.
there was no thunder to begin with. its blatantly obvious that it was photoshopped.
Way to go, Captain Obvious.
That’s not real.
This is real… but what u dont see is that he did this before, a side flip…
its fake! you can see the reflection of water on the kids back! dum dum!
thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Acually that’s only the water that was left in the pool.
well I hope to God this is photoshopped because that poor boy would have broken every bone in his body!!!
:/ You ever been in a pool? Takes more water than a little bit at the bottom to reflect like that. And you can plainly see that there is no water *at all* in that pool.
If water is there or not, it’s gonna hurt like hell.
*splash* back-flop!
seems to be a missing skateboard
can’t skateboard on tile – that pool is tiled. and as feckineejit points out, his back is the wrong shade of blue. Also – his shadow is at the wrong angle from him – look at the angle of the other shadows – light always travels in a straight line.

yes, the shadow is of the where the baseball /used/ to be. In this case, there is no way for the shadow to have been at that angle from the boy.
Of course! How COULD I forget!?
sorry i should’ve known
You can scateboard on tile iv done it o.o
Yeah, and have you noticed there’s actually 1 1/2 shadows in that pool? One just below the kid and half just above the shadow on the far side the pool where the light doesn’t reach.
the wrong shade of blue on the kids back says it’s not real, but someone pointed out to me that he could be doing a backflip to land on his feet.
He is wearing swim trunks and is not wearing a shirt. He is most likely not doing a backflip.
The shade of blue reflected on his back seem an awful lot like that of a water filled pool.
I second that note… you can clearly see the blue ‘glow’ or the pool water… then they either snapped a photo while it was empty or just pulled one off the net and fudged it…
FAKE FAIL
tank u captain obvious
Photoshop fail!
FailBlog… porque todo puede salir mal…
Este blog es la leche, se basa en fotos de cosas que no salen como estan previstas, risas aseguradas… xD
Plus, his shadow has the feet in a very wrong angle.
This looks like someone just photoshopped a skateboard out, but I can’t tell if the distortion near and underneath his feet is just crappy jpeg compression or photoshop.

can’t skateboard on tiles very well.
or barefoot.
dont think skateboards were involved. who does a cannonball with a skateboard?
This is a photomontage. the water could be seen on the back of the child
lmao why the hell would someone do that if it is real i dont see a good ending there front flip back flip rofl its not ending good
One word. Photoshop.
You’ve probably never seen CLEAN water in your whole life. That’s how it looks. Nothing odd to see here.
And you’ve never heard of refraction I take it.
Yes, it’s fake. However, about every 4th or 5th picture on this site is, so I don’t know what the fuss is about. And yes, I work with adobe photoshop for a living.
I dont think anyones that retarded @_@
Who cares if it’s fake?
Even though it’s photoshopped that kid probably back flopped. Therefore: FAIL.
If he’s doing a backflip hes gonna hit the wall of the pool so, Fail!
But it isn’t real, it’s been photoshoped out of a photo of a kid doing a front flip into a pool filled with water!
No way!

that’s not even right i’m sorry
lol theres no skateboard, its fake, the pool isnt even the same one he jumped into, his body was cut out of a diferent picture, rotated, put on an empty pool pic, then it was copied, made all black (some transparency) with some blur and stretched slopily on the wall. kinda easy to tell when u make a lot of photoshops yourself….by the way he has a very cyan type glow on his back that wasnt removed…
it does look like the pool water is on the back but it could be the area and the swamp gas lol
It’s photoshopped. His shadow on the side of the pool is an EXACT match for his profile (although elongated a bit). If the sun and the photographer were at different angles, then he’d have different profiles in each direction.
Agreed. This picture is a massive fail.
From Worth1000.
You can see its photoshopped. Its smudged near his body.
As an art student who knows a thing or two about photoshopping, this is obviously a fake – you can tell because look at the reflection on the kids back – its a turquoise lighting, just like pool water. Whats below him, of course, is not the same color. And tile would not reflect light like that.
Photoshop 1 – FailBlog 0
photoshop,
the angle of his feet are wrong in the shadow.
There are artifacts on the pool tiling, but not visibly in the rest of the picture. Also the border between the pool edge and the tiles is sharper than the rest of the picture. Obviously someone took two pictures, one with water, one without, and cut and pasted the tiled section into the first picture, which had already been saved once with a loss of quality, hence the artifacts in that section upon saving it with a second loss of quality.

Fake fail FAIL!
obvious shoop
damn, that’s gonna hurt…
Ow.
if i had a nickel for every time that has happened to me…
Lol look at the structure in the background.
this isnt real they took the water out of the pic you can see the water reflection on his back
Who cares if it’s photoshopped? Besides, if you haven’t noticed, the tiles in th e pool are blue, but, I will admit that the shadow is in the wrong place, but a ton of these pics are photoshopped.
I think the most obvious proof that this is fake that everyone is missing is that there are TWO shadows of the boy.
huh? i see one of the “boy” and another of someone standing away from the pool thats it
and if u look, the part of his head in the shadow isn’t distorted like it should be since its displayed on the corner of the pool…. mucho fake-o
Umm,1: His Back is reflecting a large amount of blue… like the water in a pool. 2:He also has two shadows 3: Nobody is that stupid
except if he wants to commit suicide xD
i also think, that it’s fake
REMIND ME NOT TO PISS YOU OFF
this is obviously fake… th background above him is blurred and awkwardly colored
Av
if it was real, the penis behind him would have shadowed on the back wall which it clearly hasnt
failed coz its photoshopped. u can c the water reflection on the kid’s back.
the shadow that looks like a line on the edge of the pool looks suspiciously like a non-existent diving board to me
wait, there is a pipe there, never mind
how much of this crap is photoshoped? LAME
did anyone else notice the phallus in the background?
DID HE DIE????
Fail fail.
failblog fail
That’ll hurt in the morning.
Pho-to-shoop
