Just when you thought it was dependable to go back in the water … it altogether was .
While certainly spectacular , an image of a breaching corking white sharkcurrently making the roundson Twitter as National Geographic ’s “ Photo of the Year ” has nothing to do with the clip . In fact , it is n’t even a photo .

In realism , the characterization is take from a series of computer generated stock images by Russian illustrator “ Alexyz3d , ” a fact that becomes obvious when the render is enlarged .
Even the photograph ’s supposed author , “ National Geographic Chief Photographer Bob Burton , ” is a fiction , with no one by that name working at the magazine .
plain this has started doing the rhythm tonight . PSA : It ’s phoney . I ca n’t find a Bob Burton at Nat Geo either.pic.twitter.com/ew1qA78Owp
