I’m sincerely curious how real or how fake is this photo? And if it’s real, I’m also sincerely curious if the horizon is oriented to the frame of the camera, or is the steep rock face she’s climbing exaggerated?

Accomplishing anything in the real world takes time, and positive results may not be immediately apparent. Your real successes will likely be things which you moved on from a year or two ago, while you continued to grow in skill and experience.
