Not photoshop, Matt is right it is a ship, most likely a large frieghter/oil cargo ship - I've seen a number of these at work.

Our company just took possesion of the worlds largest container ship - carries 8500 containers (the ones that go on the back of a semi) getting 2 more in the next 2 years......BIG engines!
