way cool! thanks! Arthur C. Clarke wrote a short novel where the octopi were the "alien threat" of the story. I can't remember the title of the book, though...
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

Bad, CGI, bad.
Look for the subtle color shift as the photoshop effect goes to work.
So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit

I think it's real. The color shift when it turns visible is a bit jarring, but heck, isn't Nature wonderful? The things that would be hardest to nail in a shot like this would be the motion, both of the octo and the ink release. That stuff's real, for certain. Taking the shot as a whole, I don't see any way to reverse-engineer the octo into the proper shape on just any happened-by-it rock from some piece of footage. To do it this well would take a ton of planning, and that isn't generally in the shot. It's just sorta mosey-along the ocean floor video footage and seeing something cool.
I buy it.
