Wing flexing
Airplane wings are designed to flex under load. Pictured at left is the wing of a Boeing 737-900 at taxi, and in flight. I was very careful to frame the picture for a fair comparison.
There are more extreme perspectives available - see the curvature of the wings of a Japan Airlines 747 at LAX.
