I cannot find the photograph off hand but it is of a woman standing behind a glass window, I believer her palm is positioned against the window, she appears to be looking out into the world, maybe she feels trapped in her house, it is an image that speaks strongly to me and always has since I first seen it.

+ the seal photo looks kinda shopped...

This one was a sunset I took at my house. Sorry I couldnt figure out how to thumbnail it again though. It was extra orange because there was a fire burning at the time.. and there was a rainbow opposite the sunset too, but I wont bother posting that.

Will have a look for that one!
The seal one does look freaky but it is genuine- it was taken by photographer Jamie Watts over South Georgia Island in the Southern Ocean.
Heres some more freaky Lenticular cloud images:

Read on another forum awhile back Karl, the bloke that took that pic was up for & or won some kinda major photographic award (unjustly some said)(?)
I'm still not buying it; It's been photoshopped, the shark looks outta place.
Checkout the sun's rays & reflection on the water and on the the canoeist himself...?
Then look at the shark, more so his fin & a good part of it's body protruding from the water, nada nothing, zip...?

Something probably was tailing the canoeist (hence him looking back) but just not a shark imo.

Only his top fin and tail are out of the water though. And there is a clear reflection of the dorsal fin. I can't make a judgement on the tail, but the water's really disturbed right there, so it wouldn't reflect as well.
In various primitive cultures, it was believed that the brain served only to cool the body, being completely unrelated to thought. This is true only in certain people.

I wait behind Hazzard in line for Exhibit A.

Thanks for the replies-regarding the (quite disturbing) sharky picture:

Museum of hoaxes:
http://www.museumofh...rchive/2006/06/
"The one of the shark approaching a kayaker just looks too good to be true , but it's real. It appeared in the September 2005 edition of Africa Geographic."

Or

Hoax Slayer:
http://www.hoax-slay...g-kayaker.shtml
"Although some have doubted its authenticity, the photograph is genuine. It was taken from the September 2005 issue of Africa Geographic. The article details a study of Great White Sharks in South Africa by biologists Michael C. Scholl and Thomas P. Peschak. Kayaks were used to study the sharks because, unlike the motorized research vessel, they could manoeuvre more easily in shallow or treacherous water and had no engine noise to disturb the sharks' natural behaviours"

I personally don't think it is photoshopped, the chap is looking back with good reason! And the water seems disturbed and the trail fits well.
Photoshopped or not, it's a great photograph.

One of the most incredibly powerful photographs ever taken is this one.
It won the Pulitzer prize in 1994 and has been called the most powerful image of all time:
