Yes, but you can see the shadow behind him on the cabinet from the flash (just below his right (the viewer's left) elbow. You can also see the shadow from the camera flash behind the kid towards the front. It leads to me to believe this is real (most photoshoppers don't think about the background shadow from the flash or light source).

I have two theories:

1) That it is two different pictures of the same kid that were taken in the same spot, cut in half, and then stitched together to make one photo. (Although with this theory, the photo would have had to be taken in the EXACT same place as the one before to look real... I don't see any "seams" upon first examination.

2) Twins, or maybe two kids who happened to have long hair and the same color shirts.
