You would want to do a "touch and go" in the landing runway and not in the ski jump direction.
I think that is along the landing runway and not towards the ski jump direction. The deck just looks curved because of the wide angle lenses used.
The plane in the pic is probably roughly in this position:
Judging by where the white dash line crosses with the yellow dash line and the circular helo marking. Note that there may be some difference in line scheme because this could be from a previous trial (and maybe we can narrow down to which by looking at the painting on deck).
The plane seems a bit high for a touch and go, probably a low fly over.

I agree with your view that the runway shown in the "questionable" photo is actually flat. However, the photo in question shows a solid red line alongside a dashed red line, and I just don't see such a thing in the photo you posted. However, if the deck markings were re-done a couple of times, this may well be the angled deck we are looking at, since other pics also show red lines on the angled deck and yellow ones on the ramp.
What are you talking about? That picture is taken on the angle deck, where's the ski jump come from? It's completely out of the picture.

It is very obvious a touch and go, the J-15 is too low for a low level fly-by, as for the "sky-jump" you will know that is is not but a flat deck if you are familiar with photo-shooting, any fish-eye lens attached to a SLR camera will produce the same result.
And yes, the red lines indicate it is angle run way deck.

Some of you need to be more observant. Even if you are not familiar with the way pictures come out with a fisheye lens, you should at least be aware that the horizon is curved. The photo was not taken at the ski jump.

Somebody needs to get their eye and brain check before the PS calling...
That photo is 100% real.
It's taken from a monthly PLA magazine. You mean PLA use a PS photo and publish to the whole world and try to make a fool of themselves with PS picture? HAHAHA...

Ok I have taken another look and stand corrected. Congrats to the PLAN on this mile stone

you're correct, the ps descriptor is inaccurate. however, someone has finally stated explicitly that the curved horizon is the obvious give away, and that is the one element in this photo that allows us to question the action it represents in relation to objective reality.
the horizon does not curve in photos taken from level horizon, and the horizon would never curve upwards in any photo from any elevation.
additionally, notice that the angle of incline of the deck in the photo does not correspond to the angle of the actual deck.
