I don’t know who submitted this but I can assure you it was done in Photoshop because it’s my shot – the original is on Flickr at

As Acme points out the blur is wrong….

Nice to see it generated some interest!

This definitely Photoshop.
1. The angle of the reflection is absolutely the same of the reflection.
2. Homogenized blur. What kind of camera focus near and far, but blurs the middle of the range?

Sorry but someone is trying to make a fool of us.

the theory the top is wrong because in the reflection the guy is facing a door, not the mirror, so my theory is that the guy is actually looking at an enlarged photograph of the back of his head.
