The shadow of the tombstone the eagle is sitting on inconsistent with the other shadows. Doesn’t look right.
Photoshop for sure.

Actually there is literally a shadow of the eagle on top of the shadow of the tombstone he's sitting on, and it's fairly easy to see. And there are no artifacts around the outline of the eagle if you enlarge the photo. Clearly, the photo is real.

Well, I thought so too but I blew it up 10,000 times and looked very closely under a scanning electron microscope and you can clearly see that tucked under the bird’s wing is Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii. So it’s obviously totally fake.

Indeed! Here is a cartoonist's version of the famous picture, illustrating your sentiments exactly.

So its obviously totally fake. Obama doesn't have a Hawaii birth certificate - he was born in Kenya.
Your scanning electron microscope was just reflecting your eyelash.

OK, so look at the tombstone marked "Clifford W. Presuhn" (not sure about the spelling of the last name, its fuzzy). It's to the left of the eagle, and closer to the camera.
There's a shadow in front of that tombstone. Why is it angled differently than the shadow of the tombstone with the eagle on it?
And why do many of the tombstones have essentially no shadows at all, and those two have very distinct shadows?

There's a shadow in front of that tombstone. Why is it angled differently than the shadow of the tombstone with the eagle on it? And why do many of the tombstones have essentially no shadows at all, and those two have very distinct shadows? I would say that that's a clump of green grass, and not a shadow. Look two tombstones to the right of it, to one marked "Marion E." It has no green clump of grass, and it has a shorter shadow for the tombstone. I think this is a fairly long-distance shot that foreshortens the ground, which is not flat. As a result, with the rising sun and the foreshortened shadows over the visually undulating ground, some shadows are longer and some shorter from the perspective of the camera. IMHO.

oldie, but a goodie. I’m there every year. there are a lot of eagles around, so this is easily real.
