Brilio.net/en - The photograph of these swimming dolphins in Hawaii got praise from hundreds of thousands readers on online forum site Reddit. There are dolphins under the water and panorama above the surface captured in one frame. The photo was taken in the waters of Na Pali Coast, Kauai, Hawaii.

The account Chasefun uploaded the photo with SpringPorn tag of EarthPorn on Wednesday, May 5, 2015. 11 months later now the photo had seen for over 1,200,000 times. But do you realize that there is something strange in this photo?

Yes, youre right. It is impossibly hard to achieve such clear underwater photo with equally amazing picture of above the water. According to Chasefun, the wonderful picture is originally two different photographs taken 20 seconds apart.

He then edited the photos with GIMP software. He traced the top part of the wave in the first image and made a mask to match it with the surface out of the second image. He made several other compliances on the new image to match the colour of the water in the first image to make it blend.
