What do you think it took to get that picture, T-Mar? I wouldn't expect him to use the inner on straight and level road, so the big ring would have been automatic.
The MegaRange gear probably came into play after the photographer asked over and over for run-bys until they were able to get the perfect motion blur for the shot.

Given the relative sizes of the chainrings and cogs, that effect could almost certainly have been duplicated using a combination involving a better chain line. I'd bet that he's not even pedaling but coasting. However, your point about the photographer's perspective has merit. Most would prefer for the chain to be on the large chainring, for aesthetics. As one of my former team mates used to be fond of saying."It's not how good you are at something but how good you look doing it".
