    Huh?

    There’s barely any difference in proportion between those people and certainly none due to height of the vantage point, only a couple of feet worth of distance from the camera.

    I can’t believe we have to have this argument. People have functioning eyeballs, right? You’ve been looking at objects at various distances your entire life? That’s not how perspective works.

        You aren’t wrong that a high altitude could cause an effect like that, but if that were the case, then neither of them should appear that large in the photo (and especially not that wide). And if it was taken from close enough that they should look that big, then the shape of the door should be warped more or the distance between the person and the door should look smaller. Basically, all of the proportions can’t exist together in the photo as they are; something would have to change, whether the distance from the person to the door, the shape/angle of the door, the height/angle of the person, etc… You can’t just compare the raw heights and say they’re the same without factoring in anything else.

          You’re throwing out a lot of unconfirmable factors as if that “proves” it’s generated when they could equally prove it’s real. You say it “can’t exist” as is without providing any actual evidence supporting that claim. All your comment does is demonstrate that we don’t know enough from one photo alone.

          You can’t just compare the raw heights and say they’re the same without factoring in anything else.

          That is literally what the user I responded to did.

            No, no, wait, you see - YOU can’t, because you’re going against the hive mind, and that’s not cool, man!
