Hope these are real?
Was sent some fun pictures today a few I think are questionable. What do you think? Have fun.

Looked through the pictures and if they aren't real, they're about as expertly done as can be done!

Re: Hope these are real?
OK, my considered opinion:

Audi - if it isn't real, it's a damn good fake. The reflections of those pickaxe handles are perfect. But then, if it was real, wouldn't people be taking more notice of it?

Ballerinas - I'd say real, but I'm not a good enough anatomy student to know if people can actually do that.

Balls in mouth: I'm guessing fake here, largely because I don't believe anyone who owns a dog would want to put it through that. Something about the shading behind the cheeks just doesn't ring true.

Fridge: Has to be real. The angles of all the beers is exactly right. It would be easier to biuld the fridge than to do that in Photoshop!

Giant sea ball: An obvious fake. The diver's completely the wrong colour.

Motor race: I'm guessing this is a fake, though it is very well done. The angle of the blue car (is it an East German Trabant?) really helps the sense of speed.

Passport: Ha ha ha, excellent. Fake, though.

Shoe bike: I'd say this one's real. There are some weird people out there, and most of them ride motorbikes.

I'd say the shoe is real. Probably a Jay Ohberg custom. He's created some amazing cars and bikes.

The overtaking car is a Skoda.

The ability to tell the difference between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini at 50 paces is an asset. Being able to tell the difference between a Skoda and a Trabant, er, isn't.
