My wife didn't believe this was real; I do. Nice capture of an interesting sculpture.

Twins! Ok maybe not, I will say digital composite.

Um..I must know. "24 hr video surveillance and security patrol"...did you get harassed for this?? Haha

Yep. Still not in my budget yet.
My wife asked me, "Is that real?"
Me: "No, darling." :)

It's a good composite though - nice shading.

Based on the shadows on her face, I am going to guess this light was added in post-processing. I really like the way you processed the eyes. It's cool. I might suggest however, if you are going to process the eyes like that, that you might also soften or de-noise the skin. The combination of the processed eyes and unprocessed skin makes the skin look a bit more varied than it probably really is. Oh, I also really like the hair in this shot too.

Definitely real. Nice high key, although on my other monitor all I could see is a face, I couldn't see the outline of your head.

This is very interesting. I love the beam of light and how it draws the eye to the bird. The subtleties are nice here as well, the blood, the tic marks on the wall. I do see indications that this is digitally composited, mainly in the shadows (the light coming in the window does not cast shadows), the hair (it's hard to mask hair, especially the ends), and tic marks appear to be floating slightly. Still, this is a well done image and should finish well!

Cracked?

I think the patterns of leaves inside this object look like they were manipulated by some sort of photoshop filter. That however, may be an illusion. There doesn't seem to be enough detail for me to tell! My final answer is: digital manipulation. (But this one's tough.)

Weird reflection

Very interesting! I see a shadow under his hand and index finger that indicates the light is directly in front of him, while on the middle model, the light seems to be coming from her right side. Because of the highlights on her left shoulder that don't seem to be present in the foremost model, I think those are two different shots. Overall verdict: digitally composited. Still, this is well done and tells a very interesting story.

This is a very cool picture and I like the effects. I do believe that is a real boy and a real ocean and a real stick and a real...ok you get the idea. I love the burned edges and texture of this.

This is a very good execution of the challenge. This could very easily go either way and it's hard to guess which it is. My guess is that it's a model. My guess is that you shot the model separately from the bottle under the same lighting conditions then composited the two images. The car looks like a model to me because of the reflections and the curves of the car don't look like they would on a full size model. Besides, you'd need a pretty big white sheet to photograph it on!
