I understand if you feel like it is hard to be amazed by anything you see on the internet these days, when you know for a fact that any teenager with a computer and a copy of Adobe Photoshop or other photo manipulation software can put together a fake photograph in a couple of minutes. The modern technology, computers and gadgets have brought such endless possibilities to modern society that anything is possible with the right equipment and the pinch of photography skills, technology know-how and creativeness. Which would make you completely right to believe that these photographs have been tempered with! Unfortunately, this means there’s a bunch of jaw-dropping images that the internet declared “FAKE!” the moment they appeared
You need to be broad minded and always mind that real life is, sometimes, stranger than Photoshopped imagery and some of the most amazing, jaw-dropping of those photographs are, in fact, real. The result is that internet audience lacks the appreciation of cool and amazing photography which creativeness and artistic impact as well as the ability to leave you breathless and amazed deserves better than your “That’s Shopped” attitude. See these unbelievable photographs that you’ll think were photoshopped, but surprisingly, were not!
Am I the only one fre*ked out by the bird getting eaten?
the stairs are from a subway station in toronto. there are a bunch more in that station, but the stairs are the best.
There are three cats in the succession. One is a Maine C00n, the one in the arms of the woman, one is a Liger,the massive cat the woman is standing behind, and the third is the white tiger born inbred. They all are real. And the shock of the woman cooking is just that…a h**tie cooking. Run for your lives! LOL
dunno about most of these pics. but the picture of the shark and the guy in the canoe is FAKE. Google and find out more if you’ré not sure.
The white tiger’s name is Kenny, no, he is NOT a liger. He was an inbred Tiger found at Turpentine Creek Big Cat refuge in Eureka Springs, Ar. Look it up, they have a web page. His mother’s name is Loretta Lynn, she is mentioned in one of their videos.
A pretty girl that’s willing and can cook…PHOTOSHOPPED! Lol jk
Gail if you mean the ‘tiger looking cat’ stretched out in a girls arms in one of the pictures, it’s not a liger, its a maine c**n cat. they are not inbred but originally come from maine. the c**n part of the name is a reference to raccoons because of their markings which look similar. They are fully domesticated cats, i have one that looks very similar to the one in the photo. And theyre not the largest domestic cats in the world, apparantly norweigan forest cats are bigger.
So sad about the white tiger though
The white tiger is actually a Liger, a Lion crossed with a tiger. Or a tigon a tiger crossed with a lion.& not a result of down syndrome, you fools.
INCREIBLE
Are these pictures real?
Am I the only one who can see the silhouette ones are blatantly fake?? The actual silhouettes look like they’ve been done in paint ffs xD
The white tiger isn’t so severly deformed as some people may be portraying it. Although it is due to large amounts of inbreeding on the part of humans. The tiger pictured has Downs Syndrome, or trisomy 21, a condition common in humans as well. Side effects are mental retardation, and an oversized tongue that causes facial deformities, very similar to Downs Syndrome in humans.
FAKE!
Does anyone know where the second picture of the man in the water was taken? It’s absolutely beautiful…
good v good
The giant bunny is a ‘Vlaamse Reus’. It’s a breed that was very popular here in Belgium. The animals are not huge due to overfeeding (unlike what some people here have posted) but naturally grow to that size. (The breed was created by breeding big animals together to create larger animals) Nowadays they are usually cept as pets as they are extremely friendly and tame. And even though they are big, their bones cary them easily and they are energetic creatures =)

All of them are real. But I dont see one with a girl cookn
the shark one is not photoshopped actually just saw the episode of shark week on discovery it was taken from
For those of you doubting the shark, that picture is taken in False Bay in Cape Town, South Africa. It is entirely common for sharks to follow ocean kayaks. Though mostly they don’t do much else there have been reports of them taking a chunk out of the kayak in curiosity.
okay the the guy that looks like he’s walking on water is actually on wet sand thats reflecting the sky like a mirror. i just wanted to inform the ones that are stupid enough to think its photoshopped.
I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet, but the giant bunny, very real. That guy breeds them for food. When I am old enough I am going to find him and steal one. I MUST HAVE A GIANT BUNNY! Seriously! You could ride one of those things!
Oh and I love the chair thing. The artist does a lot of great work!
I feel so bad for the Tiger. And the giant bunnies.
The one with the shark? That is photoshopped.
The tiger is not a Liger at all. Liger’s look completely different. The issue with the Tiger is that it is badly deformed. Due to the demand for white tigers (thanks Siegfried and Roy!) they have been bred again and again to achieve the white tiger effect. However, as this is due to a genetic mutation, a lot of inbreeding has to be done to achieve it and it is more common to get tiger’s with awful facial (and other) deformities than a normal white tiger. To put it in context – for every 1 normal white tiger, there are ten deformed white tigers. Usually they are put to sleep which is horrific but, considering the severity of facial/ cranial deformities, probably for the best
Humans are b***ards.
I did a project on Salcedo for art and yes, the chairs are real. Assuming that one (or more) of the images are real, I can’t see the rest of them being photoshopped.
Those tiger looking cats are called liger’s.Cross between tigers and lions.All are sterile and cannot re-produce.Just like the mule.Another one of Man’s messing with things that should be left to God!!.There is,I think, one real lion and one real tiger.The big faced White Tiger looks to me to be just that.A slightly deformed white tiger.These photos are all very interesting but I wish they all came with an explination.Like the chairs.Is it a photo of a mural between the buildings? Or a photo of some wacked out people that through chairs in untill they piled like that between the buildings????
1 one is fake.. you can see its a doll, you are really really stupid if you think a man walked all that way ..
the COMMERCIAL is fake too, how would a car fly in the air, land in a container, drive out of it with no damage at all? it would get totally f***ed up if it landed in that container irl..
the women might be real, but still, the guy who made this, REALLY S*CKS!!
AkatsukiReign..your dad is lying to you, siince it is pretty obvious that this is done in chalk (as all sidewalk drawings like this are and as you can SEE the chalk on the sidewalk) so there would be no spray paint.

the one with the girl cooking took me a while, but underneath the cupboard there are two peep-holes. they’re right above the tiles with the yellow-fish things on them.
im pretty sure that it isnt the peepholes intended to be the amazing thing in that pic….its a Hott girl actually COOKING… sarcasm
Photoshop can do every thing,it rocks..the photos are amazing they have customized well into clear and funny shapes..this site seems iintersting
The white tiger saddens me because I know that one is real. Terrible people all over the world breed tigers with the white gene like factories. A huge percentage of the white tigers born are retarded and look like that. It is the most common way a white tiger looks. Many times they throw these babies away, let them d*e, or just ki** them right away. And don’t forget that 95% of the tigers born are normal tigers who the breeders cant take care of, they just want the white ones.
this is bs HOW DID THEY ADD TEXT IN ONE OF THE PICTURES
I can’t believe how uneducated some people are. The one with the chairs was a famous art instillation piece made for an Art festival. I’m in art school and I can’t believe how now just because photoshop exists everyone thinks that anything amazing was simply photoshopped. if you just open your eyes are tear yourself away from your computer you’ll find that amazingly REAL things happen out there in the REAL world all the time, take Stonehenge for example.
The tiger is very real, he lives in a wildlife refuge in the US!
Right on spot!
I’m not entirely sure about this, but I’m guessing that the picture of the girl cooking might only be pointing out the fact that as impossible as it may seem, this girl, not only knows how, but is actually cooking her own food at home instead of going out to eat or ordering food in. It just could be that simple
It is not possible that the one with the chairs is not photoshopped, OR they glued all chairs together and then cut off the legs to make them even and put black material between the legs. Didn’t think so. Also, what would be fake about the cooking girl? I mean, her chest may very well be fake, but that is due to a doctor, and not photoshop
Most of these are great though!
Whoever was supposed to take care of that (very rare breed!) tiger should be hanged from the balls, severe neglect is not funny, and these pictures are horrible, poor animal.
by my count (hard to do with so many adds fit in between)9 is real, but i don’t believe the pic with all the chairs and cr*p filling the ally is real, my reasoning being that the concrete must stop there and the ally floor below street level (been all over and never saw a plan such as that) because you can see the chair back (?) by the mans right foot is diagonal and obviously would need to extend below street level.
last one is VERY real, when i was in New York, me and my dad spend lots of time watching guys spray paint these things on the ground. They’re very impressive.
I’m a photographer and I’ve spent a long time learning my way around a camera. Some of these pictures are incredible. I especially like the man on the water. I know that’s not fake because I’ve done it with puddles in my backyard. If you’ve never been in the water with a shark then you never really know how curious they are. And they love shiney moveing objects. The shark is real and the water looks pretty deep there too. As far off shore the water has got to be a good 50-60 ft deep. And that’s a shallow estimate and sharks that big can swim in water that barely covers their gills and that’s about three feet of water easy.
the one with the girl cooking took me a while, but underneath the cupboard there are two peep-holes. they’re right above the tiles with the yellow-fish things on them.
The ones with the woman with a really tiny waist are real. I watched a documentary about her when i was younger, and it showed you how she managed to get her waist so tiny. I can’t remember exactly but i do know she’s real and that really is what her waist looks like. And i don’t believe any of these are shopped. People are too judgmental when it comes to photographs that are out of the ordinary. Can’t you just say it’s an amazing photograph and leave it at that!
I feel really bad for the tiger he only looks like that from years of neglect and abuse from being in a circus….
number 9 is fake it was featured on the news
Umm whats so shocking about the girl cooking, am I missing sominthing here, Cause I dont find it to be all that shocking.
For a lot of these, I don’t have to think again since they ARE photoshopped…and obviously so.
The stairs are awesome I saw something like that before but instead the floor looked like you were going to fall straight through.
And the shark is not photoshopped. You just thought that it wasn’t possile, go to Hawaii or Guam or any other island with warm clear water and you can see everything up to 200 plus feet down. And sharks come close
The last photo on pg 1 looks like one of those 3D chalk drawings.
The last photo looks like one of those 3D chalk drawings..
The one with the shark? That is photoshopped.
ha! last picture is near beurs/bourse in brussels!
