It is not fake but likely postprocessed via Lightroom (notice the HDR-like artifacts).  There was a heckuva storm up here when that was taken.  BTW, if you haven't seen Lightroom etc. they are pretty amazing pieces of software.

Reminds me of the style used in the movie "300".

Lightroom is good as a "universal SW" which can do anything from picture organizing, adjusting etc. But in terms of just effects and post-processing nothing beats Photoshop.
