The underside detail of the aircraft is overly dark to save rendering effort.
The windows...don't look much like windows.
Is the pilot blind - didn't notice a 4x4 & bunch of hi-vizer in the way.
Are the tarmac crew blind - didn't notice a biz jet running them down.
Does the flag, which the AC landing gear passes a few feet away from exist in a place where physics don't apply.
Why did the photographer wait so long to turn around & catch the roll - bingo, the CGI geek couldn't be bothered with the effort of rendering, especially for the reversers.
This and other comments remind me of a so-called fake picture showing a SATA A310 (or A300) during a crosswind landing a couple of years ago. The prune experts had already proven this picture to be fake, when the actual photographer signed up here at pprune. The picture being debated I believe was first posted on airliners.net. The photographer posted a series of pictures of the crosswind landing which ultimately proved the fake picture statement to be a fake statement.
