Awesome!

Amazing what one can do with PhotoShop, PhotoPaint or PhotoImpact (the last-named is just as powerful as the first for 1/5th the price).

that is not a fake. It can be done with a tripod and slow shutter speed. I know cause I have shot a lot of similar shots like that

Look at the drops of water around the bird. You can take them like that only with fast shutter speed but to take the bird like that you would need a slow shutter speed. So it is fake

Of course it's a fake, there is no sign of the bird refracted in the droplets and the bird's head was distorted using the same technique that the paedophile arrested in Thailand used to try and render his face unrecognisable.

The dolphin/whale and bear/fish are equally fakes (different light sources) and you certainly don't get sea breams lit from underneath swimming up rivers. Nor would you get a shell travelling at 800 m/s sharp with a flame behind it, just leaving the smoke cloud which would hardly be travelling at 100 m/s. IF the photo of the cloud is real, the shell would already be hundreds of metres beyond the frame of the pic. I have doubts about some of the others, too.
