I'm almost certain this picture is photo-shopped. Looks more like landing flaps than takeoff. If not......

If that is a Sam Chui photo, which I think it is because I recognize it, then to say that it is a photoshopped phony is a serious accusation.
Sam is a professional photographer who has worked for airlines around the world, dedicates countles hours uploading incredible, rare photos to airliners.net so that we may all enjoy them, for no pay. His livelihood depends on good credibility because he shoots airplane photos for a living.
If it is his work then the picture is real.
Besides, there are a dozen other pictures of that Russian aircraft type and another or two doing the same thing: crossing departure ends at less than 35 feet (or less than 10!).
A compliment to the photographer, though, for capturing an exciting scene, when the photo seems to exciting to be true!

He can't be to good of a photographer. After all, look how far down the runway the plane was before he photographed it.

Sam Chui indeed
over the water:
RA-86140 (cn 51483211102) No more runway left = Must rotate! Look at where the 1000 ft marker sign and where the plane is! One heart-stopping takeoff! The front gear of the plane actually got up before the '1' marker but the body remains heavy. I think the pilots know exactly where to rotate. The Ilyushin also kicked up a large sandstorm on the beach and it was barely above it after finally airborne. IL86 is such a beast! [Nikon D2x, High speed crop mode]
opposite:
RA-96006 (cn 74393201003) Thrilling takeoff, as she used the whole runway, I thought at one second she won't make it! It was a thrill, she took off right at the end of runway marking! Woo! Also please see PhotoID 321482 for the lifted up scene. [Nikon D100]
