yes that is a good optical illusion... consider the direction of the turn,
the right wing banked down towards you, with the flex, you are looking the
length of the wing, instead of the top of the wing, while the left wing
flexes in the bank and shows you more of the top profile then you would
normally see with a stiff 15m wing.

Great Photos, very weird optical illusion the right wing looks a lot
shorter than the left even accounting for flex.
