Leg Shortening

I saw this photo this morning, good idea on how not to do it:

Unless, the midget look is in for 2012?

Wow, that is just awkward.

it took me a good 10 seconds to realize they were sitting on the guy's legs... I thought they were just little people.

Caption Contest?

"The couple stood head and shoulders above their friends."
"And afterwards, the wedding party all got into a VW Beetle to drive to the reception."

This looks to be a snapshot of a guest. The people on the picture look to camera left, most probably towards the wedding photographer. From that point of view it MAY not look THAT awkward...

Ah, another one for my shot list. bahah.

WOW, i had to look at the photo again, i was tossed between photoshop and little people

There were some pretty funny comments on Reddit about it.

I though it was nice that the photographer managed to get the building in the BG......particularly well done given all that open area to the right.

...as has been pointed out: they are looking at the offical photographer...who has that open area to the right in frame and no building in the background. The shot is probably a snapshot by a guest.

And I couldn't actually figure out what I was looking at until I read the thread! Talk about a real world optical illusion!

I was referring to the photographer the took the image in question......just not good framing.

Others have commented adequately on the other stuff, I didn't want to simply repeat the comments....I was pointing out the disadvantages that the "me too" GWC is at and how his image is spoiled by being a "me too twat".
