Can you see a fin in this photo?

I took this image from the ferry as it was arriving in port last week. While looking at it full size on the iMac I spotted what looks like a fin. Certainly not the shape of a buoy.

You may have to follow the link to see it full size on Postimage then zoom in just below the sun and right a little.

I have seen dolphins before from the same ferry .

What do you think?
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Lovely photo. I can't on here the PC, but I can definitely see something on the ipad where I can expand the photo to a much larger size. It could be a fin. 8-)

If you mean that point just below and to the right of the sunset then I can see it, but what it is...

Yeah, I am not sure if it is just wishful thinking on my part. All the google images of dolphin fins show them being curved on the back edge which would be to the left on my photo. I also have no way of estimating the distance from the ferry and therefore the size of the "fin".
But I am going to claim it anyway. :)

Grainy, distorted images of wildlife are a speciality of mine at the moment. I also have some of a supposed bald eagle.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

It looks like the fin of a basking shark. They're quite popular in the English Channel this time of year.

Sorry, guys. As hard as I tried, I couldn't see a Fin in the photo.

Nor a Dane or a Swede! :lol:
