      Bring tears to your eyes? Is it fake? Don't know but a couple of things.

      Maybe it's the angle, but for something that intense, I would expect to see more of the elevators on the rear surfaces. Also, where's the aircraft's shadow? Finally, while it seems that the wings are reflected off the skin, it looks like it's a runway reflected under the nose, something constructed reflected off the skin at the level of the cockpit windows.

        Yah, there was a big discussion on this pic first time it was posted. Someone pointed out that you can easily read the signs on the runway, and the runway itself shows significant foreshortening. I believe the general opinion was that the high angle was an illusion formed by the unusual angle of the shot. Also possibly taken with a telephoto lens. Looks to me like it might be at a 30 or 40 degree climb, pretty steep but far from vertical. Amazing shot, though.
        I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.

                The thing I like about black and white is that colour confuses contrast: the nuances of the scene are lost in the clash conflicting colour.

                  But then sometimes colour has it's own meaning

                          Now, everytime someone asks me what I have the black ass about, that motorcycle picture will surely come to mind.
