MINOR DISTRACTIONS

The Nation has a great picture today of work at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. Repairs to nine of the 51 bays at the new airport, which opened nine months ago, have begun.
I don't blame this worker for being somewhat distracted from his or her task. I think I would be too, seeing an Airbus A340 roaring past at pretty close quarters.
The photographer in me can't help wondering whether this was a posed shot? I know you cannot control factors like the aircraft, but would the picture have been so dramatic if the worker had been kneeling or actually working?
