Given the recent discussion thread concerning to what extent photographic image manipulation can be considered as a lie, I thought it would be interesting to see what 'lies' you can come up with.

Not looking for composite or photomontage entries unless they really impress me (or you get away with it because they are actually convincing)...

- Do not comment, vote, react or click “like” on images prior to the winners being announced.
- The photographs must be your own work.
- You may only submit one photo per contest.
- This contest runs for one week. If in doubt, check the dates in the title.
- At the end of the week, The Judge will choose a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
- If the Judge is unable to complete the selection within 48 hours of the deadline, then last week's 2nd place has to step in. 3rd place takes over should 2nd place be similarly unable to officiate.
- The 1st place Winner will start a new thread with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the Judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create a new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
- Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
