I learned that sometimes revising photos is bad and illegal. I also learned that some of the the things to check for in a fake photo are cursors, shadows, and things that don't belong . Imagine if they still haven't found out this was a fake!

The Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye, Scotland. This is actually a photo of the Shotover River in New Zealand. The vegetation there is a normal shade of green. The vivid purple color is artificial, achieved by means of a color filter.

Claim: A long exposure photo of a lightning bolt hitting a tree.Reality: It's a photo created by "light painter" Darren Pearson (aka Darius Twin). Light painting is "a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera." Pearson light painted the blue flames at the base of the tree. He then cut-and-pasted the lightning bolt itself into the photo from a NOAA image of a lightning strike

Claim: "Remember that as days get colder animals are attracted to the warmth of cars so check wheel arches or other hiding places."Reality: The cow was cut-and-pasted onto the car from this image. (If a cow really was lying on a car hood, the front of the car would sag under the weight.) The image initially circulated with captions such as "Fail Safe Auto Alarm," but went fully viral when the Surrey Roads Police Dept.tweeted it with the caption about animals attracted to the warmth of cars.

Claim: This a Moon Melon, scientifically knows as asidus. It grows in some parts of Japan, and is known for it's weird blue color. It can switch flavors after you eat it. Everything sour will taste sweet, and everything salty will taste bitter.Reality: This is actually just a slice of normal, red watermelon that was colored blue by using a digital color filter. Some fruits and vegetables do come in shades of blue, but watermelon doesn't.

Claim: An encounter with an angry koala.Reality: Koalas don't have wolf-life jaws. The original photo of the koala (without the fangs) was taken in January 2009 by Flickr user Oz_drdolittle, who explains that the koala was wet because he had sprayed it with water to cool it down on a hot day. Around about 2012, an unknown hoaxer added the wolf fangs to the photo, and it subsequently went viral.

Claim: An "Angolan Witch Spider" spotted crawling on the side of a house in Texas. It took several gun shots to kill it.Reality: The image is the creation of artist/photographer Paul Santa Maria who took a photo of a normal-sized wolf spider outside his Florida home and used Photoshop to expand it to gigantic proportions. "Angolan Witch Spider" is a creative name, but there is no such species in reality.

If you look closely at the top photo, you can see the outline of the original moon that is on the bottom photo. there is also no reflection of the moon on the water in the top picture. And, the moon is in font of the smoke coming from the factory on the right.

Claim: When the lightning flashes, this is not what you want to see. A tornado approaches an oil rig.Reality: This is actually a composite of two photos. Amateur photographer Fred Smith captured the image of a waterspout illuminated by lightning on June 15, 1991 from his backyard overlooking Lake Okeechobee, Florida. In early 2008, an unknown hoaxer pasted an oil rig into the picture and added the "not what you want to see" caption. This version quickly went viral.

Claim: Heart glare reflection on the shores of Hawaii.Reality: It's true the picture was taken in Hawaii. Waikiki beach, to be specific. But the 'heart glare reflection' isn't real. The photo was created in 2008 by DeviantArt user 'charmbuster'. He explained: "this is a slight photomanip, the shape was so close i had to make it a heart!" It's been floating around the Internet ever since. Sometimes it's titled 'sea heart' or 'beach heart.'

Claim: Barack Obama smoking a cigarette.Reality: Obama has admitted to being an occasional smoker. Nevertheless, this is not a real photo of him smoking. The original photo (minus the cigarette) was taken in 2004 while then-State Sen. Obama met with constituents at the University of Illinois. In early 2008, during Obama's presidential campaign, an unknown hoaxer digitally added the cigarette into his mouth, and the image then went viral.

This is the packaging for a new flavor of Oreo's — Fried Chicken Oreo's!PR reps for Oreo cookies confirmed to reporters who inquired that there's no such thing as Fried Chicken Oreo's. Although it is true that Oreos come in some unusual flavors, such as cookie dough, candy corn, green tea ice cream, limeaid, orange ice cream, etc. The Fried Chicken Oreo picture was adapted from the cover art for Watermelon Oreos

Claim: An Israeli satellite in space captured images of the space shuttle Columbia exploding upon re-entry on February 1, 2003.Reality: Images of an exploding space shuttle that circulated online soon after the Columbia disaster were actually screenshots from the opening scene of the Touchstone Pictures movie Armageddon(1998).

Claim: This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in Newfoundland. The water was calm and the sun almost directly overhead so the diver was able to click this pic.Reality: This is a composite image created by photographer Ralph Clevenger. It combines the halves of two separate icebergs — one in Alaska and another in Antarctica. Clevenger never claimed it was an unmanipulated photo. It went viral after someone added the caption about the oil rig diver.

http://deravarra.ie/dieting-tips-for-an-overweight-horse/ This is a picture of a horse and a rider. As you can see, both are very fat and out of proportion. The rider would probably not be able to get up onto that horse, considering his size. If the horse was this big it could not run, and couldn't even think about jumping, which what it is doing in this picture. Also, it is impossible for a horse to be this fat. The link is above
