Christophe Huet and other talented artists at the
Asile studio in Paris produce amazingly lifelike and realistic CGI and photomanipulated creations. (Flash and audio, but the music, also created by Huet, is lovely.) Some images NSFW.

"King Anfortas currently owns this magic stone, schmooze him, take him surprise, how ever you will get it, but bring me this stone! As award I promise you my daughter and a place on the crown!" --
The Mystery of Castle Wildenburg, a slightly goofily-translated game that combines point-&-click with classic text adventure gameplay, and photos of the lovely German countryside.
Read the "Prehistory," mouseover everything, save often (though you lose your accumulated points on loading a saved game), and be careful not to die of thirst.

"There are chakrahs in our hands, Jesus had nail holes in his palms, and a sign of worship is to stand with your palms raised. Fortune tellers read palms. Handwriting is analyzed to expose deep secrets. Man’s thumbs differentiate humans from lower species....We control our world with our hands, and our hands are shaped by our world." -- The
Manual Project by
Bill Westheimer.
"Using 19th century collodion wet plate photography I photograph their dominant hand, then we work together to make a photogram of their palm print. Combining these two images together with the person’s handwriting, I create one portrait of the subject. "

Two completely dissimilar yet nifty artists: The twisted ink drawings of
Jon Kuta (big enough to make desktops; Flash interface), and the fabulously lifelike driftwood and bronze sculptures of
Heather Jansch (she really likes horses. Warning: you'll have to side-scroll).

"At
Ceiling Scenes, we believe the ceiling has a fundamental right to take part in the
ambiance of any
interior space."
-- From their catalog (.pdf). Personally, I think
tin ceilings are much more nifty, but I can see how these photographic tiles could really brighten up a dull office or
classroom. Too bad they're so cagey about actually telling you how much they cost...
