So, it is considered an altered photograph. The picture was taken from grounded airplane and altered by emerging another photograph of an island in order to present as a selfie during a mid-flight of a pilot. This photograph was basically generated by “Instagram” page of (@Gansooo) Daniel Centeno. This page didn’t explain that how this photograph was created, but confirmed that this photograph was altered.
