And no ... it is not a fake put together with PhotoShop. Here's the NASA description:

This gorgeous galaxy and comet portrait was recorded on April 5th in the skies over the Oriental Pyrenees near Figueres, Spain. From a site above 1,100 meters, astrophotographer Juan Carlos Casado used a guided time exposure, fast film, and a telephoto lens to capture the predicted conjunction of the
bright Comet Ikeya-Zhang (right) and the Andromeda Galaxy (left).
