looks fake. but I've even seen "anatomically incorrect" real photos as well.

The lighting seems all over the place, so I'll vote fake.

there is a black border on the neck, like he was cuted out from a different background. The top of that roof seems strange, it's diiferent where the guy stands, it looks as if the dude was painted on the cardboard or something at put there as some kind of advertisement.  (that can be a result of bad photoshoping too)

ok i've found out from the originator why it looks so fake..
it is indeed a photo - but the figure was shrouded in shadow from another building.. he's used a technique he found online to try and edit the pic so that you can see the sniper without shadow.. the technique doesn't go into how to put shadows in to make it less flat
(i thought it was a studio shot cut-out and put on a dodgy cloud background) |

| Whatever the case, it looks like a pretty crap photograph to be honest. I wouldn't waste your time worrying about it. |
