I didn't read every post in this thread but noticed a lot of the back and forth is regarding the photograph.  I must admit that it also looks photoshopped to me.  If not, then I think there is an easy way to verify it.  Just go out and take a few more photos.  One from the exact same spot.  The environment most likely changed a bit from when the first photo was taken.  That should make it look slightly different yet a human should be able to easily tell it was taken in the same spot.  Second, take one standing maybe 10 meters to the left.  And take another 10 meters to the right.  If those photos come back as looking very natural, then there should be little question as to the validity.  And I would be glad to donate.
