Photo # 1: not photoshopped.
The photo was taken back in 2006 in Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve , the original can be found in this flickr account:

It's one of the species of Caeciliidae: not exactly some worm, but an Amphibia.

It would make no sense to fake a photo like that, since a lot of legit ones are available all over the web.

Photo # 2: that's an awesome shot. At first glance I would say a Bald Eagle dive-bombing into the water to grab a fish, and definately he looks like he's walking on water. But due to the arrangement of the wings, maybe he was just doing some inspection.


Eagles use their wings as brakes: this is not happening in the photo in question, in my opinion.
Plus, the surface looks icy to me, but I could be wrong.



Photo # 3: it's a phenomenon known as Fire whirl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_whirl

They can be devastating: one of them, once, killed 38,000 people in 15 minutes (during 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, Japan).
That very photo could have been taken in Aracatuba, Brazil, not sure tho.
You can watch a short video here:

A lot of pictures of them can be found by doing some image search of "fire whirl" or "fire tornado" etc...


Photo # 4: no clue.

Photo # 5: Not only real, it has been the Astronomy Picture of the Day, once:

Tornado and Rainbow Over Kansas
Credit & Copyright: Eric Nguyen (Oklahoma U.), www.mesoscale.ws
Explanation: The scene might have been considered serene if it weren't for the tornado. Last June in Kansas, storm chaser Eric Nguyen photographed this budding twister in a different light -- the light of a rainbow. Pictured above, a white tornado cloud descends from a dark storm cloud. The Sun, peeking through a clear patch of sky to the left, illuminates some buildings in the foreground. Sunlight reflects off raindrops to form a rainbow. By coincidence, the tornado appears to end right over the rainbow. Streaks in the image are hail being swept about by the high swirling winds. Over 1,000 tornadoes, the most violent type of storm known, occur on Earth every year, many in tornado alley. If you see a tornado while driving, do not try to outrun it -- park your car safely, go to a storm cellar, or crouch under steps in a basement.


They are all great images, most likely all genuine. Thanks for sharing
