Seeing isn’t always believing. Though most of what your eyes see actually exists, it’s getting incredibly easy for graphic artists to generate computer images that look like real life. And sometimes, what is real is too beautiful for anyone to ever believe! Have you ever looked at a sunset and thought that it wasn’t actually happening? Or have you ever played a video game and found it hard to believe that the graphics were not from real life? It happens to all of us. Perception is not always reality! Can you spot the difference between real nature photos and ones that are computer-generated? It is harder than you would think. Take a look at these twelve photos of forests, sunsets, lakes, mountains, deserts, flowers, lightning storms, cyclones, and clouds and tell us whether you think the images are real or fake. You won’t believe your eyes after taking this quiz!
