First thought was simulacra for the face, but it seems like there is actually someone there.
It's one of those almost too good to be true images, would like to be able to see the original photo to rule out P-Shop.
Best bet, somebody actually there leaping through the bush - ergo, a hoax. But then you would think it would have emerged by now if that was the plan.
Very odd. Quite a disturbing image given the menace in the figures face, although the elongated left arm I think is just caused by a bush simulacra for the hand..
