Remember, the F-22 has a Y-tail that has a steep angle. From the looks of it, the sun in the picture is high and toward the nose of the aircraft. The F-22 only has a significant shadow below the port side tail.
I zoomed in on the Hi-Res version of the photo and found no unusual artifacts. I'm convinced the photo is real.
