http://spikes.iaaf.org/post/lornah-kiplagats-journeyI can't imagine anyone would run next to a lion. Any experts on photoshop or lions?
My main business partner had to ask if that is photoshopped?
Like a lion in Africa is a domestic dog or something?

This! That there's even a discussion about it is astounding. I'm sending this link to a few Kenyan friends for a laugh.
Another photoshop-ically uncaged lion.

... done in about 20 seconds with the content-aware tool. Not hard. Now, moving that lion to the other photo, fixing the lighting and color cast, and making the edges undetectable (not incredibly hard, but hair generally leaves a less than perfect result) takes a bit of skill.
What you have posted above does not.
This lion next to the hot blondie is very real. Simba is her name.
Next time you guys are running and come across one of the worlds most dangerous animals, call your photographer buddy and have him take a pic of you smiling in the face of death
I'm a photoshopper and can see that the tree was rsized to fit the frame, the original photo probably had a jeep on the road. I can see where the dirt road was pieced together and cloned to have a bumpy texture. the skyis also fake, etc.

I meant to say the mountainscape is fake, not the sky.
Also look at the mud tire track to the far right, it's made from a short mud track that was cloned/repeated to look longer.

What's weird is if you chance upon a lion in the bush the last thing you want to be doing is running because it triggers a predator-prey instinct and make them reflexively chase you down even if they're full. I have a relative who survived an encounter with a who;e pride precisely because he kept calm and walked at slow pace so luckily the lions ignored him. Luck was key.
Its obviously fake. But there is so much more about the pic that is not convincing.
Fake Road: Nobody has clean white shoes while running on a dusty road and nobody has clean legs either.
Fake expression: Nobody smiles when they meet a lion. Your first instinct will be to turn in the other direction and run with mouth agape and horror written on your face.
Fake reaction from lion: A lion will not just stand listlessly if it sees humans running. It will instinctively give chase.
Fake Landscape: Looks like there is a body of water in the background.
Fake Boobs: Enough said
I don't think the road and the landscape are fake. Also, signs of recent rain as can be seen by the tyre marks meaning the road isn't dusty but damp.
These women don't seem to be casting a real shadow on the road. There is a small shadow by the front leg, but no shadow for the rear leg or the rest of the body.
Photoshopped, speaking from the perspective of a person who's studied lions for a couple of decades.
I've seen this tree and background somewhere before.

Wow, my first thought was how the hell you recognized that tree. Apparently if you do a reverse image search you will find that image.
Any chance that the lion is a prop (stuffed) that really is in the photo?
