Suggester says, "This photo seems so unbelievable that I thought it was a photomanip at first... but it's real! A rare and amazing scene - the photographer was lucky to be in the right place at the right time!"

Description

Maho Beach, St Maarten (Dutch side)

No this is not a manip. Airplanes really arrive (and depart) THAT low and close from that beach. This Airbus is the biggest one that lands and takes flight

Look how close from the viewfinder. I'm proud of my timing here :D Critiques plz...

EDIT: HOLY SHIFT, A DD! Thanks to all of you!
