crazy realistic cg image

This is a piece was selected to be in the CG choice gallery on CG Society. It was done by an artist named Lee Perry-Smith, who's been working on photo-realism for 5 years. CRAZY~~~~
Over 500 people have posted comments debating whether it is a photograph or an image actually done in cg. But the artist have posted wireframe and other renders to prove himself.
