Looks real to me... Unlikely, but real... If you view it closely, you
can see the shadows behind him are on the plant and the background...
Also, Look at his reflection right in front of him... On the plant and
then in the water right in front... He'd have to be some genius w/
photoshop to manage that

Somehow I question the authenticity of that photo. How did he get on
it without filling it with water?? The weight of his feet would have
to flex the leaf somewhat.(Well over 150 lbs.)
On the other hand the size and shape of the leaf would allow it
to displace his weight, just not in the manner pictured. IMO I
strongly feel this photo is altered.
One leaf would cover my little puddle ;-) Hmmmmm ...... maybe
that would keep the raccoons out.
Too cold in Jersey ........ I loose again.
Sorry if this double posted.
