It is a fish eye lens, which exaggerates the view.

What an awesome picture! Real or not it sure does feed the imagination an
allow you to imagine the trip in from a birds-eye-view.
That said, something about the altitude at which the photo was taken looks
odd to me. Do commercial planes fly that high?
Happy Friday everyone!

capture this unbelievable moment while on vacation."

If this image was real, it would be a sensation.
It somehow does look too perfect to be real, doesn't it?
What do you think?
Best regards
