Probably photoshopped. There are millions of these kinds of photos all over the internet on the click-bait websites. " Caught seconds before the moment of death" blah, blah. It's usually a great white sneaking up on someone.

Humorous photo indeed, but being aware of your surroundings is also great advice. Many photographers have been injured and even killed trying to frame a shot and stepping back into the unknown while doing so. Being aware is also a key factor in not becoming an easy target for some nut-case out there and some of us carry some very valuable equipment. Still enjoyed the photo, but thought we should all get more than just a good laugh on this one!

Yes but the reminder to be aware of your surroundings is a good thing!

Had to laugh at this one. Defiantly Photo-shopped. I won't give his name, but I went to school with this guy. He posts a lot of similar photos on his Facebook page. He was born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA and now lives in Sacramento, CA.

I hope he purchased additional insurance on his camera. LOL

Be aware of your surroundings is very good to practice all the time.
Way back in the day (probably the late 60's early 70's) Pop or Modern Photography always had a last page with a photo and a comment.
I vividly remember one entitled "Keep an eye out." It was a race track scene where the course made a wide turn and went back in the other direction. There was a photographer right in the middle of this on the grass with tripod and camera intently shooting away in one direction at the action on the track. Just opposite him, behind him, was a wreck and a wheel was airborn and coming right down on him, and he was totally unaware. The photo was snapped just at the last moment before he was struck and killed by the wheel. No clickbate photoshopped pic back in those days.
Very good lesson to be aware of in photography.
