    Real or fake?

    This site has 10 images on it. Some are real photos, others are computer generated images. Can you tell the difference? I got 6 correct.

    I got 9 right, but it wasn't easy and I made some guesses.

    Nine out of ten.
    I wasn't sure which was fake, but I was certain on 9 of them.
    And I think the one they claim is fake, is actually not fully CGI but CGI overlaid on a real image.
    I assumed there would be an equal number of fake and non-fake images

    Re: Real or fake?

    Holy crap I got 10 out of 10 first try. But I had to click on each photo to enlarge it.

    and I suck at the bonus round and got 2 out of 4. Great link Mjs!

    Re: Real or fake?

    I got eight out of ten, then changed two answers and still got eight out of ten. Don't understand how that happened ... but anyhoo, I was pretty certain about eight of them, and two of them seemed real but I figured I was being tricked. One of them totally took me by surprise. I agree with the above, that that one must be only partially CG.
