I got 13...which isn't great, as you should get about 50% just by guessing.  3D has gotten really good lately!

18 out of 20.

About 8 or so were super-easy, just because I knew them as CG art.
Is that cheating?

Mostly the eye areas were a death give away.

20/20. But I kind of do this for a living. ;) I guessed most of them within 2-3 seconds to be honest. There are still plenty of tell-tale signs, although lots of very good work in there.

It's cool to see a new one of these, but I really don't know if including "digital paintings" is that useful/interesting. After all painters have been making photorealistic paintings for centuries. Digital technology has changed (or improved) that little to none. I'm much more interested in photorealistic *renders*. Which there are several of. But there the low(ish) resolution of the images serves to make it harder to tell they're CG, which seems a bit unfair. Looking at the final, larger images in the workflow threads usually reveals them as CG more easily. That being said I definitely appreciated that they linked to workflows for most of them, that's a really cool idea.

I've wanted to make a quiz/test site like this myself for a long time, in large part because none of them seem to ever include landscapes!

14/20. Interesting I think in what gave it away to different people. Highlights on lips, inconsistent hair and skin texture got me most of mine, although it got a bit tricky when I had to think whether that could have been the result of makeup and studio photography

The hair is usually the tip off for me. No matter how good the skin texturing, there's almost always a few places in the hair that looks a bit blurry or not-quite-convincing.

13/20.   About half way through I had only missed one, but for some reason I started going with a first impression and immediately started missing more.  Usually I find my immediate impression, or instinct is the way to go, but not in this case.  Some nice work there.

14 out of 20. Some are quite hard, and I should have 15 out of 20 right, if my wife weren't interfering  ;) Mostly I guessed fake instead of photo's were I went wrong, probably because the photo's (or actors) were worked at as well.

17. I couldn't believe that Morgan Freeman's image was CG!
This is incredible!!!

Yeah Morgan's image tricked me too and so did Megan Fox her image.
I recognised the photo and noticed the weird jaw line, but with such skinny chicks I'm not surprised they have weird jaw lines under certain lighting angles.
