Look at the right wing just before it enters the building. Then look at the direction the Sun is shining. As the wing gets closer it should be thrown into shade the closer it gets, yet it actually gets brighter.
The wing is mostly a flat surface. It will produce a strong "specular" reflection when the angle between the viewer, the wing, and the light source is appropriate. What is happening is that the optimum reflection angle is attained just before impact.
There is a big shading issue here as well.

Amateur job at best.
