That is an awesome shot!
***Do you think the Eagle is a photoshop artwork or is this an untouched picture?***
This is an actual video also called "Angel Flares". It is NOT photoshopped.
Does anyone have the actual video to post here?

The photo was not edited. The “angel” is the smoke remaining from a previous flare release some distance back.
There is visual compression from the use of a telephoto lens. The aircraft are more separated than it appears as is the smoke angel.
Thank you!
