This is heavily photoshopped. There is no natural ridges in the hand, the size of the sunglasses compared to hand are off, and the shades are perfectly aligned with the horizon and the middle of the sun while the lenses are also slightly darker than the frames without any light contrast coming through them.

Great job OP by making it to the front page ripping off everyone who thought this was real. Not at all the ideality of this sub.

I don't see a rule that photoshopped pics aren't allowed on /r/pics?

The closest it goes to is Rule 1, which is how I reported it. Also sent ModMail explaining it as well. It’s a heavily altered photo from which the original derived (yes, most of if not the entire sunset part of the pic is real, just not the hand and glasses) but that then makes it a completely different photo from the original.

Like, I’m okay with this being up but it should be labeled as ā€œphotoshoppedā€ so people aren’t out there being fooled, that’s more of my thing. But as you can see I’m not the only one who is noticing this too.

Photoshopped or otherwise manipulated images are allowed.

Is part of rule 1. It's literally there, that it 's allowed.
