This is one big aircraft, although that is not the reason I like these photos. Take a good look at the second and third pictures. These were taken 2 seconds apart. Apart from the fact that the spoilers have been deployed in the second photo, take a good look at the wings. In the second photo the wingtips are significantly lower, and the whole wing has quite a different shape.
As soon as those wings get "unloaded" they droop down noticeably - that might have been one incredible bit of engineering by itself. That is very impressive!
Anyway, enjoy the photos!
I noticed the wing shape when I saw it in person also. I suspect the 787 will be the same, as I have seen pictures of it in flight where the wings seem to describe a circular arc in shape.
