As someone who has worked for a few years in a photo lab, I'm leaning towards the opinions of the Photoshop camp. Check out these inconsistencies: the variance in light quality between the woman (soft) and the birds (bright) in the second photo and the inconsistent shadow under the tail of the bird in the foreground of the first and last photo. Also, it looks like a bad edit job on the top edge of the woman's hand in the first photo, where the bird in the back is flying... that "shadow" looks more like a bruise.
Ultimately, the lighting quality is what threw me off at first.
But cools photos, fake or not.
