That was horrible... Could have done a better job making a fake.

You really think that is a fake? Looks pretty real to me.

I don't think it's a fake...but the birds are much closer to the camera then the aircraft.

Why do all strange-looking pictures have to be fake?

It looks to me like the photographer was focused on the airplane, a flock of birds passed through the line-of-sight in the foreground (nowhere near the airplane) and "click" - - the picture was taken.

I'd like to see some of your fakes!

It appears to me that all of you "fake-sayers" have never used a camera in your life. Every picture that looks somewhat 'cool' is a fake to you.

Get a life.

(obviously the birds are closer to the camera than the plane - you can see that on the blurriness. Same with the last picture where it "appeared" that a cessna 172 gets squashed by a 747. The camera was focused on the plane, thus any object closer or further from the camera gets blurred automatically.)

It's another case of a telephoto lense "squeezing" percieved depth.

i'd be more impressed by it if it was a fake. if it was fake it would be a pretty good one in my book. there are hundreds of birds and all at different configurations of flight.

apparently many folks on here, the "fake-sayers", have never used anything other than a point and shoot polaroid. it's amazing what a little change in lens size, aperature, and f-stop can do. what? your kodak clickomatic doesn't do that?
