Greg -
To the best of my knowledge that is the real deal. non touched up photo.
I know I have shot things equivalent to a human head (I did not kill a living thing) with a rifle slug out of a shotgun and pretty much does the equivalent.
I have talked to people that are familiar with first hand witnessing of such events and it has been expressed to me that normally it take the head clean off.
I guess since the skull is harder due to bone than the flesh tissue of the neck, if the round hits just right the flesh can give way before the skull will resulting in decapitation
Not that I have ever witnessed that myself of course.
