    The Internet has made us cynical. The minute we see a picture that seems even slightly less than normal, we immediately cry. "Photoshop!" 

    This is unfortunate for all the photographs out there that are amazingly authentic, yet meet nothing but skepticism.

    Whether they're achieved with camera tricks, optical illusions, props or just abnormal subjects, all of these pictures that have made their way around the Internet actually fall in the "not Photoshopped" category.

    This looks like it's two photographs Photoshopped together but it's not. The picture was taken by the blonde on the left. The left side shows a mirror, reflecting her image back to the camera. On the right is her friend seen through clear glass. As a result, you can see the very slight reflection of the blonde's arm on the glass.
