This is a Great image don't get me wrong, But this contest is not about that. To me it looks like a 60s airline magazine ad. looks painted and not realistic. Also the contrails don't come out the engine they tend to form a ways back from them as the engines exhaust cools. It is still a beautiful image.

IRONCOW I don’t know whether to slap ya or shake your hand. Thank you for the compliment about this being a “Great” image and looking like a painting. I wish I could paint well enough to get some work as an ad designer…lol. As for as it looking like 60’s airliner ad, wow thanks but the Boeing 787 did not take flight until December 2009. In the 1960’s an aircraft this size would have had 4 engines.
You are partially right about the contrails, MOST OF THE TIME; the E.G.T. (exhaust gas temp.) will prevent the ice from forming immediately. Believe me though, I have seen times above 40,000 ft (12200 m) the outside air temperature being near -70F (-56c) and the air pressure below 5 inches Hg with an engine not running at peak efficiency or a low E.G.T.. Ice will start forming before the trailing edge of the flap track fairings especially during high humidity conditions. Please just chalk my painterly contrails and unrealistic picture up to “artistic liberty” if you will. Thanks again.
