Had to look at a few other photos to confirm the fact, and don't ask me the technical words, but the IL-86's thrust reversers are kind of hidden behind vents/shrouds.
Have seen a very similar photo taken of the same type departing some eastern airfield with an equally long t/o roll.

Don't worry, folks.
Using the logic from "Close Encounter over London", it was thousands of feet away from the end of the runway, and it's all down to the fore-shortening effect of a long telephoto lens!!

p.s. If you do a search on the registration you will find more pics of the same aircraft using a lot of runway on take off in BCN.
Could it be the limited TO performance of the Il 86, or the limited knowledge of Mass & Balance of the crews?

Highly unlikely to be doctored - Sam Chui is highly respected and takes some superb photographs.
As for the IL86, have a look at this and see the same aircraft taking off a few years ago. Seems like a load of flap selected...

Interesting take off techniques!
I wonder what it would look like if they lose one engine after V1...

p.s. BALIX, how did you manage to post that link written in text? There used to be a button for that, but I can´t find it anymore.

Funny how that photo (ll-96) just happened to be taken by the same photographer at the same airport as the LL-86 in the first post?
And how come he hasen't yet managed to photograph the initial climb out of any of these
, which would have been equally interesting?
Me thinks Mr Chui likes playing with photoshop or somesuch, and has a fondness for doctoring photos which show in his own words a
as the a/c
knowing that neither the operators/ pilots of these russian a/c are lightly to appear either here or on !!!!!!!!!!!!!! to set the record straight....
Of course there are plenty of 'experts' here to comment on how authentic these photos are, just as the DHL A300 'v' 777 mid-air shocker over london was recorded by an honest and genuine press photographer......
