Is this B-52 photo real?

No. If you blow it up, or invert the colors you can see the
massive manipulations.

You don't even need to do that. Just look at the shock wave boundaries
where they come off of the fuselage. Too sharply defined.

The shadows go in two different directions, too (off the wingtip into
the cloud and the wing shadow on the forward fuselage).

Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations.
Slam on brakes accordingly.

Just looking at the line of the BUFFs belly and the compression cloud shows
me it is a fake. Not that well done either.

I found a photo on the web which was described as a photo of a B-52
breaking the sound barrier. I do not believe this plane can do such a
thing in a positive manner. Is the photo genuine?

This keeps showing up for various aircraft by people who have never seen a true
sound barrier shock wave. Even if this pic wasn't faked it only shows a vapor
wave with a B-52 due to compression at moderate speed and high humidity.

Doctored.
To me it looks like they took a real picture of a transonic plane, put the
Buff in it and then added clouds here & there about the airframe.
The condensation cloud isn't in the right place over the width of the wing
span and they went all "fluffy" with the clouds around the engines just to
name two points that are suspect.

I'm 95% positive that ths shockwave vapor component of the pic is from
either an F-14 or F/A-18...I know I've seen that before, but it's one
of those two Navy birds in the middle of it.

I belive it was an F/A-18.

Including this one, which various l00ns have claimed represents a B-2
breaking the sound barrier:
