Is it just me or is that picture a really bad fake?

Airliners.net seem to have been carrying quite a few iffy pics of late. They are somewhat loosing their credibility methinks.

It's a terrible fake.
The sun is coming from the left side of the Cessna, which would be behind the 727. If the sun is behind the 727, why are the forward slats lit?
Also of note is that the 727 has no shadow, which should be below and ahead of the plane.

Maybe I'm easily fooled but I see no reason to think it's a fake. The 727 is flying down the tarmac runway which you can see quite clearly. If you click the More link there are plenty of photos by the same author taken at the same event. He looks genuine enough to me.

Yeah, but nothing that would suggest a commercial jet landing so close to GA aircraft. Also, I would think if he were that low, he would have his gear down...

I agree with Pirate, but never mind WOULD if he really was that low he SHOULD have his gear down.

That picture isnt a fake. Like doug pointed out its an air display which the photographer points out in various pictures of this display.
And the sun is clearly coming from the right side of the picture as you can see from the slight over exposure of the left side of the 727 and the two GA's shadows. Its also a high enough sun to light the other side of the 727 which again is backed up by how little the shadows extend from the GA's
