2nd image is from the movie “Lighthouse”, and that’s just how it looked.

Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 month agoThat second picture looks AI generated, why is it backlit?

It might be from that outreach program to kids - I even saw something made up to look like a mermaid in there:-). Anyway yeah, whether made for or by kids, it’s definitely stylized.

Yeah, tineye doesn’t find any matches for it but does for all the others.
The backlight could be sunlight, but the it wouldn’t be deep-sea. It could be another submersible with a light, but I don’t know why two would dive together. The bokeh looks pretty weird also. I think it’s AI.

Could also be in spawn. That could cause backscatter from the camera lights off the gametes.
But probably fake.

Semi-transparent creatures combined with no natural light makes things look unnatural at that depth. Also, considering many things are bioluminescent at that depth, that creature in particular might be generating its own light.

It’s backlit because there’s a lighthouse behind him

Are we talking about the jellyfish? Because we’re talking about the images openstars posted.
