Sorry to disagree with you Val, since we all know you do know your gators, but this particular photo is a fake.
the reason listed above are just the simple ones.
by saving the photo, and then viewing the edges of different parts of the picture you can see how the pictures pixellation ( the dots/squares that makeup the picture) is different.
It is physically impossible to have more than one size of pixellation in any single picture taken with only one camera.
any single camera, at any set resolution, will _always_ have exactly the same pixellation in every photo taken with the same resolution setting. It's how it works.
You can clearly see at least three different pixellations in this photo, and there may be more, if i wanted to look harder at higher magnification.
you also cannot have shadows going in different directions without having multiple light sources, and multiple light sources in broad daylight would have noticableeffects elsewhere in the picture ( ie flash reflections from painted reflective surfaces, flashwash in other shadows etc etc)
I've been a closet admirer of many of the "poser/photoshoppers" , to do a good one takes a hell of alot of skill, technique, and patience, and this photo is most definately photoshopped.
I am not saying what is decribed is not possible, just that _THIS_ picture is not what it is claimed to be.
