Quite a stretch? .. as in a dog swimming in a loch is unlikely? ..
It’s water. But that’s not proof it’s a loch.

Good point.It’s water. But that’s not proof it’s a loch.
No, not at all. Having been owned by a Labrador retriever myself, that's not it. I mean you have to squint pretty hard, use your imagination, and ignore much of the information that actually is in the image in order to see a dog. That's why I likened it to the rodents on Mars we've all been shown in recent years on the nutjob sites. Silly. Just my opinion, of course. And no, I don't see a monster either. It's an ambiguous image. I might get around to hunting up the original story that accompanied it though. As someone up thread pointed out, the picture does not exist in a vacuum and I'm not one for calling people liars just because I don't like their stories.Quite a stretch? .. as in a dog swimming in a loch is unlikely? ..
Thanks. I thought I'd seen it somewhere in here but didn't look.helpfully linked in opening post

As in - it doesn't look like a dog unless you have a powerful imagination. Well, actually I do have a powerful imagination and it still doesn't look like a dog.Quite a stretch? .. as in a dog swimming in a loch is unlikely? ..

These days, I wonder if a picture or video EVER could be solid evidence.
Yet people keep insisting it's "proof" :bf:I think that ship sailed a long time ago. In fact, I think it was long gone over the horizon twenty years ago, when digital cameras became readily available consumer items. Of course manipulated photos have been around almost as long as photos have. It's just so much easier to do now.
Nevertheless, the venerable Glasgow Boy - surely Britain's last die hard Nessie believer - has put up a spirited and elaborate defence of the picture as showing something else entirely and the dog image as being a case of paredolia. (Strap yourself in for a long and detailed read).

youre right, theres the outside chance its a labradorWe cannot say with 100% certainty that it is a golden retriever with a stick in its mouth, but ...
thats not a good blog IMOI revisited Glasgow Boy's blog this morning and it really does smack of desperation!
And the thunderbird has Roswell debris in its talonsIf I squint long enough I can see that it is clearly The Face On Mars, sitting atop The Thunderbird Photo.

I was once rather taken by the dog & stick but not so much anymore. I'm leaning toward swan. http://tetzoo.com/blog/2019/3/7/boo...-ronald-binnss-the-loch-ness-mystery-reloaded
P.S. Naish is justifiably critical of Roland's stuff. I notice that because not many people blog about this subject, Roland has cornered the search results, unfortunately. People check the internet more than actually well-written books on topics.
