BTW, there is a 250k version freely available, which is what I was looking
at. If you're a member, it seems an even larger version is available.

I know the Technical Director of this cargo carrier (Volga-Dnepr) and he
confirms that the flight was made and the approach was a bit low on that
day.

If you're so inclined, go ahead and e-mail their PR department:

Fair enough. I'm actually not inclined as it was a passing remark on an
image which "looks" photoshopped. In otherwords, some visual queues
appear to be out of whack to me. I think my language was very clear in
that my statements reflected my impression of the image. Real or not, it
doesn't look right...to me.

The fact that so many people are getting upset at the simple fact that the
image doesn't look right, to me, is what I find infinitely more
disturbing. Worse, there are those that are claiming, "conspiracy".
That's down right scarey. Then, there are those that took a mature
approach to rebuff my remarks. Thanks in kind.
