Every now and then, a photo so ambiguous emerges, it's just begging to be featured on the subreddit r/photoshopbattles. From the President of France celebrating a football match to a sleepy 2-year-old, Bored Panda has compiled a list of cool photos from the wackiest PS battles on Reddit, proving that a good photo editor is nothing compared to a collective troll army. At least in terms of creativity. So scroll down, enjoy the submissions, and upvote the best photos!

pretty sure the first one is already a photoshop version ;)

If you're not familiar with it, here's how a Photoshop battle works: redditors (Reddit users) upload unedited interesting photos to the subreddit and its subscribers are encouraged to photoshop the images in any way they want and submit the artwork in the comments section where they are voted on by the community. The more votes a particular photo manipulation generates, the higher in the section it is displayed, and the one that receives the most points "wins" the battle.
These Micro-Mushrooms On A Leaf
Currently, the time-sensitive and competitive /r/photoshopbattles is the 31st biggest subreddit with over 15M subscribers. On average, 111 funny photos appear on it every day, receiving 310 comments during their first 24 hours. One time, a picture of Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg pouring coffee sparked a Photoshop battle. Redditors used the photo to put Solberg in Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Game of Thrones, among many other scenarios. It escalated up to a point where the politician herself noticed what was going on and acknowledged the photo editing competition. "I realize that with the facial expression I have there, it can be tempting to use the picture in other contexts,” Solberg told VGTV."

This Tree That Was Struck By Lightning
When.a tree burns to the heartwood like this it can eventual reach the point that it acts like a chimney and shots sparks out the top of the tree. When you see a forest fire put out then hours later an old hard wood tree like this sends out sparks and the fire starts all over again.
"Many of these trees were my friends. Creatures I had known from nut and acorn!"
Brought tears to my eyes remembering all the fires in California and even here where I live, the island of Maui! I feel for the forest of beauty or homes now scarred!!
Oh, Maui was by far my favorite destination I've ever been to. Until Thailand. I feel for all the people who lost their homes and all that beauty of the nature. :(

A Hawk Staring At The Camera
"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it."
A sudden urge to watch a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon is coming on. "I'm a chicken hawk, and I'm gonna take you home. Come on, I ain't got all day! Are you gonna come quietly, or do I have to muss ya up?!"
i smell two possible outcomes. for the photshopped image: "This tree ere ain't big enough for the both of us." and then the non photoshopped one: "Where have you been, young man? It is three hours past your curfew!"

I didn't notice that before you pointed it out. Makes it even better. Thank you.

Oh, I would watch Captain Canada^^ Always polite, never rude and if he does get hurt... hey, free healthcare!
Why always putting a charro hat on every mexican related meme? It's not like Captain America has an uncle Sam top hat, or the canadian guy has a mountie hat
It's Captain Canuck, if you want to be technical about it. Comic book created by Ron Leishman and Richard Comely in 1975. capn_can-5...9549df.jpg

Load More Replies...He knew that paw print. Grew up with it. Understood the nuanced movements of its owner that forced those impressions in the sand. This was the day Simba vowed to get vengeance for Mufasa's death. Scar would pay for his crimes.
That's the face I make every time I find out Disney is making another Live Action Remake.
Keanu Reeves Running From This Paparazzi After Stealing His Camera
This scene is from the movie "Generation Um...". He is NOT stealing a camera from paparazzi. Stop spreading false news!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I saw this scene in a movie called "Generation um" so I think it's just a snapshot from a movie and that guy behind him is playing a hillbilly character, that's not a real paparazzo. I'm a huge Keanu fan (aren't we all?), therefore I just have to watch all his movies:p
Police Dog With $10m In Confiscated Weed
This Impala With A Spider Between Its Antler
I don't know, I think the impala is appreciating the freedom from flies! Flies are attracted to the moisture around horses' eyes; I think it's probably the same with impalas.
Load More Replies...Did everybody else also miss, on first viewing, what's going on in that embroidery? No-one has said anything yet...
You mean the Christmas trees when it's obviously summer? I noticed but didn't think it worth mentioning.
Load More Replies...If I was that Impala, I would be running for my life and screaming, "SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Fire Fighter In Front Of Californian Wildfires
One does not simply walk into Mordor; one needs a wizard and a firefighter.
Take the original pic and add the screaming tree. That would make an excellent mashup!
Flower Cat
Porcupine Walking On Its Hind Legs
I didn’t even know they could walk like that, or is the original image a photoshop too?
All animals seem to be evolving. Walking upright seems to be the first thing after the development of the thumb. Just think now, how many animals have this thumb and try and name them . LOL

It's a trophy. This "streaker" (who never revealed any more than what you see) was at the Champions League final, which is a football match.

If the pants match the coat, what is under the coat? I mean when he takes the jacket off, does his shirt match too? I NEED to know!
I mean, I would be so dissapointed if it was one of those wife beaters. I'm sure he wouldn't do that. He looks like a real clothes lover.

If you look closely, you can see that they added the American flag to the background and a microphone in the foreground. But really, a rather poor photoshop for the rest.

Pardon, but he would like to be called Snowball; because his fur is white and fluffy

So disappointing, right? They totally belonged together! (He's a true Viking, FFS).

In my opinon, some/many of the originals are better than the photoshopped ones. Not all though of course!

That tree wasn't struck by lightning. It was purposely lit on fire inside of the natural cavity. Tree that is hit by lightning pretty much explodes if it's alive. Only dead, bone dry, tree wont explode because of lack of water inside.
I think these dog onesies are sad and should be banned dog can not tell you the c**p is hot or pinching brush the dog regularly and where that piece of c**p while you do it I hate mess like this and see it as not humane. poor pups
