You're not alone, Anthony. Even the flickr followers have questions. It would be nice to think it's not photoshopped. I'm new here and new trying to learn about photography beyond 'point and shoot' and although I use a version of Photoshop (Elements) to help 'fix' my scrapbooking photos, 'faking' a photo seems strange to me. Isn't the goal of every photographer to actually really capture that 'awesome' one of a kind photo? (Not that I'm saying this one was not).

It`s real! No nitpicking! Suspend your disbelief! Be a kid again! .... come on,don`t you wish it`s real? ..... :) ....I think it is.It`s plausible.
It's brilliant. If the disbelievers go back a few pages there are plenty of others attesting to having tried to take the same shot and failed to capture it so perfectly. also, the photographer gives graphic details of how she achieved it. I believe and I love it and THANKS Martin for showing it to us. http://mostlylisa.com/blog/sf-baybridge-rainbow/
I've tried to catch a few but blocked by traffic etc. always seem to miss the pot of gold. This one is awesome, even the foreground roof doesn't detract much, love the double just barely visible.
the aspect and lens distortion of the image , which actually "lay the image down" somewhat to capture a wider view, while the rainbow is perfectly vertical to the ground, makes me doubt it.
I use a program called Tiffen DFX. It has a rainbow simulator. And if you dial in the parameters well enough, it can look like the real thing.
I am also still looking for that pot of gold at the end.

I hate to be "that guy" but that rainbow is suspect. :P

And the photo is beautiful.
For me ...it's a very good photograph!
