  2. It looks Photoshopped unfortunately. It’s a doable shot. You’d need a water housing kit for your camera and then some filter for the lens. And youd have to preset the exposure because you cant adjust it while in the water housing…so judging by the water around the elephant and one of the elephants feet I think it was shopped.

    1. I’m pretty sure it is as I do a lot of photoshop work. But didn’t want to say anything. Sometimes as adults we just need to look at something with awe and wonder and just believe.

  10. Love it Michelle! It’s obviously photoshopped, but who cares? Great image!

    One of my favorite photographers, David Doubilet, who specializes in underwater photography, actually has a photo of an elephant swimming underwater while using her trunk for a snorkel, so even though this is photoshopped, it’s not a total fantasy.

    1. Correction: I just checked, and photo I was thinking of is by another National Geographic photographer, Cesare Naldi.

    2. You hit it right on the nose. Even though this may be photoshopped, it is of something real – not a complete fantasy, like giving the elephant gills, or wings.

      1. Hi, Elena. I don’t have any contact information. I only have what you see – the photographer’s logo in the bottom right corner. You can search that name and also use Google’s image search to hopefully locate the owner/photographer.
