I like the pictures, did you get them from your collections or just from the internet?

The real ones are great, but the other half that are photoshopped are just meh.

So, several of those pictures were photoshopped you realize. Most notably the hamster flower one.

Hey, PsDude and all other people who loved 1st photo!

Brilliant collection!

Amazing and very beautifull pictures i like it

Thankyou very much

These pictures are not mine. I found them on the net. Did I forget to mention it?

I will edit the post.

Some great photos there. Love em.

Awesome pictures there, i especially like the hamster one, and i laughed at the polar bear about to eat the salmon. I’m so sadistic lol.
Wonderful XD

these pictures are great, however i think its sad that every other comment talks about how their photo shopped has our society really fallen so far that we can just see a nice picture and say hey thats cool do we have to point out that they might be fakes? i mean geez its art and its beautiful and made me smile… who cares about the rest?

is not photoshped -.-

Bom! mt bom! keep going!

the dude with the motorcycle
he’s not going to get it

Nice pictures. The one with the flower is so cool almost like it had to be staged.

This is one stumbleupon that I like very much. Thanks for sharing.

The image of the bear is Catch of the Day by Thomas D. Mangelsen. His website is http://www.mangelsen.com/

I love the polar bear getting pushed into the fountain

The hamsters are photoshoped, the grizzly bear would be fishing for salmon and I think that’s a trout, which couldn’t jump that high, and for better or for worse, I think the motorcycle dude might be manipulated…his stance looks like he’s still holding on to something…look at other pics of guys doing that. The girl with the fish is up for debate.
The first one is my favorite!

Awesome collection of images…I really love a lot of them, and they certainly put a smile on my face! though it would be nice to see where they came from, kudos to the photogs, you know…

these camera brilliant enough?

Excellent moment capture

pheonix i really agree with u. i think that you should just look at these pictures and say, “Hey, thats really beauitful.”
GOD!!! the USA these days!

they are very good photo’s. must have been a brilliant camera.

Im surprised that some people get so angry over a simple thing such as pointing out that the pictures are photo shopped. i love the pictures, the dolphin and the whale is amazing, i didn’t know they would do something like that. and even if the fish and the little girl are photo shopped, i think it’s still cute.

amazing collection..

Great photographs…I love it…Keep posting

Photoshop is a part of reality, to try to pick every photo apart will drive you insane! Just go with the flow, all you ‘experts’ need to go take some pics yourself, go to the ocean, steal a car, anything to get your asses off the computer and into the real world. Maybe then you will be less pessimistic and critical!??!!?

am i wrong?

HI! just to let you know- the pic of the Dolphin surfing on the Whale is actually a first prize winner from the Smithsonian Institution’s ‘06/’07 photography contest! at the link below, you can find the contest page, and the story of what the photographer watched them doing when she got the shot!

Wonderful selection of photographs. Thanks.

Wales do eat dolphins. This one was very lucky!

The “puppy” is a Miniature Daschund and yes, dogs will eat plants, except that this one isn’t eating it, s/he is running at full tilt and probably ran right through the garden bed and grabbed the plant leaf in its mouth and ran right into the camera. The person taking the pic. was probably shooting one pic after another without stopping. Probably wasn’t even aware that this pic. was on the camera. It’s happened to me a number of times and these have often turned out to be my best shots.

The little girl underwater is mimicking the Silver Dollar fish. Possibly in the Bahamas. Not a trick.

The hamsters are not hanging onto anything, certainly not each other, but it is still sweet no matter how often I see this picture floating around literally everywhere.

Some photographs, doctored or not, have been passed around so often that original attribution is often difficult to make, if not impossible.

I wouldn’t want to be that surfer, nor the mud, nor the aerialist on his bike. He’s in for a sore landing.

The very young bear with his fish is a very young Kodiak and they’ll catch any fish that comes their way.

Adult Polar Bears are anything but white. They are tinged with yellow, depending on age and season.

The bird is for real; the shutter speed had to be set very high. We see the same kind of photo that has become famous by now of the Golden Retriever who has just come out of the water and is shaking himself dry. You can barely make out his head for the speed of the camera work.

From the expression on the young girl’s face, I would venture a guess that the guy tripped and fell backwards into the fountain. Probably caught by a passing photographer. The kind of photo that wins prizes.

The red fox pup is famous it’s been seen in National Geographic so often that it is now commonplace.

The howitzer speaks for itself. Don’t know who took the photo, but you may be certain it wasn’t me. lol

A few of these photos were taken from funpic.com who in turn get them from everywhere! People just love a good picture.

I think the whole debate about Photoshop pictures has more to do with people’s visceral reaction to feeling duped rather than an appreciation of the actual photograph they are looking at, whether it’s been doctored or not.

The fact is that most, if not all, photographs taken today have been manipulated in some way. My advice is simple:

Carpe diem.

I really like these pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

That dog is just so cute …

RE: Polar bear. that still could be a Polar bear because Polar bears actually have Black skin and Clear Fur do your research you think they are just white but they are not the clearness of their skin reflects White

I’m quite certain that the tank is a PzH2000 and not a Paladin, I could be wrong though.

Some whales eat dolphins, this is not one of those whales, I’m pretty sure Killer Whales are pretty much the only one that eat dolphins.

wow! that’s really cool.pic with rats is reall nice ……thanx for sharing it

I bet some of these were taken with a Phase One Digital back http://www.captureintegration.com/phase-one/new-backs/

love ‘em!

Gwen’s an idiot. It’s low shutter speeds that produced that effect on the bird. But more importantly, most of the people commenting in this thread are idiots. I think you all should head over to YouTube, where idiotic comments are the norm. “Polar bear.” How stupid. You all need to work on your “expert” voices a little more so your dumbness is at least slightly believable.
