Is it genuine or photoshopped?
We've been puzzling over it.
Mods, I'll remove this post if it's inappropriate.
Just that I have my own opinion and want to see what others think.

Photoshopped... look at the shadow of the tree, which should stretch out to the moon at sunset, if the Sun is 180 degrees in the sky, which, with the moon in the sky (well above the horizon) implies that the sun has set, thus no tree shadow should be seen...
Make sense?
<LATE EDIT> Regarding the optical illusion on the shadow... definately possible, as demonstrated by Bad Astronomy and the explanation of the Moon Landing Photos with the different shadow lengths and direction of the astronauts versus the LEM (
