People are so clever when coming up with photo manipulation ideas. This contest includes entries of film and cartoon character mash-ups, and is a particularly fine example of photo manipulation, which injects more than a hint of humour. They really think about plays on words and character attributes, which come through as very witty pieces of art.

For example, Snow White is seen on a fake poster for the movie Seven, Moe of the Simpsons is featured in Cocktail (anyone is better than Tom Cruise) and check out the brilliantly subtle Casper ghost.
