I used Irfanview: Size (500,375) of the photo on point (444,248) swims someone with a helmet on his head! I believe that that large thing is a submarine with persons on it.

haha…. cmon….its so ambiguous.

You’d think when you’re releasing these types of photos you’d want to show something BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.

otherwise it just ruins your credibility.

It just takes 1 lousy photo (like this one) to ruin any shred of a persons credibility in the eyes of the public. (which it does).

i don’t buy the “story” about the guy and his reputation, I’m looking at the proof, which is a photo that shows next to nothing yet “claims” to show norways nessie.

riiiight.

I can’t take a guy seriously who’s willing to stake his reputation on something that is so inconclusive.

If this was a trial, the evidence would be very weak at best.

Again, only one photo. Just exactly what is it about cryptoanimals that paralyzes so many peoples’ shutter finger? In the days of film that was perhaps understandable, when a roll of film was at most 36 exposures. But today’s digital cameras often have storage capacity for a thousand photos or more, and often with video tossed in for good measure. Click that shutter release! We want multiple photos where the odds of a really great photo are increased.

Well, there does seem to be dark colored arches in the water. It reminds me and looks like part of a inner tube on an old tire. I am not sure what I am looking at. Unfortunately, when you enlarge the phototgraph for photographic analysis, that portion of the photo is such a small part of the entire photo, that all you get are blurred pixels.

I am not sure what they saw. However, if it is indeed some kind of animal, it reminds me of a snake or eel in body shape. There is water disturbance around the object in question. But an inanimate object could give the same water disturbance in a mediocre current or if there was a bit of wind blowing the object.

The photo is inconclusive. I am not sure what they saw or what they think they saw. A very interesting photo. And unlike blobsquatches, at least you can see something in the photo. It is definitely not waves or shadow play, like so many other photos we see.

Interesting but also inconclusive.

I was advised of this photograph last week and began to investigate the background of the gentlemen who were involved in the taking of the picture. I can tell you that Andreas Solvik is an impeccable guy and is one of Norway's top marksmen and the manager of a local gun club. He has a very good reputation and is very unlikely to do anything untoward. During the past week I have watched the photo evolve on a number of sites and believe that some copies of the image have been Photshopped to improve clarity. I don't think the image has been altered too much from the original which can be found here. This is the local paper at Hornindalsvatnet where the sighting took place. I continue to investigate this remarkable photo and will be happy to share any other findings here with the readership of Cryptomundo if and when I discover anything new. For now I cautiously state that this looks like it is genuine..

Is this the only pic? Would love to see some more pics taken before/after to see if it changed position/disappeared/etc. rather than just having to assume they are branches. I have dreadful depth perception, but to me it doesn’t look that big, either. Can it just be a normal water snake or some kind of eel?
