Love it, but yes, of course it is fake. Keep in mind that even the top DSLRs don't autofocus after you set the timer. The squirrel is in perfect focus yet the people are blurred out, meaning the focus was on the squirrel when they hit the timer. If you want to get more technical, on a bright sunny day like this even a crappy camera would default to a high F stop which gives you nearly infinite focus meaning both the squirrel and people would be in focus....which would be far less dramatic. The comments about the tame squirrels in this area are completely true, and only lend to the fact that they saw a tame squirrel, got a close up of it and photoshopped it in. If this site would let me attach photos you would see how that same squirrel appears to be in my office right now! Nonetheless, still a great photoshopped image that makes me smile.
