Nice photo manipulations photographs by Martin Waldbauer, talented amateur German photographer, who creates very unusual images with the use of digital photo montage.

Images enhanced by the presence of reflecting surfaces in them - water, usually; mirror surfaces in a few, the Bean ("Cloud Gate") in Chicago making an appearance in one of the shots. In some, the orientation of the camera is changed to briefly create a confusion between object and reflection, with pleasantly surreal results.

In his latest adventure, Benjamin von Wong headed to Fiji where he tied down a model to photograph her underwater with the local sharks. While this might sound scary (and crazy), the terrible stereotypes depicting sharks as menacing and terrifying creatures are exactly what Ben hopes to change with these surreal images.
