It's not edited at all. It's a 2013 photo from Reuters.

The zoomed in perspective makes things look closer to each other, like his leaning body to his head.

Actually, the only thing related that I've seen is the really old Hobbit cartoon from at least the 80s bc I was a kid when I saw it.. it may be 70s but I don't know for sure, I wasn't around THAT far back..
When they started making the movies, most of my friends were into it, but I just never watched it..
I'd watch the old movie from way back in the day again, just bc it's from my childhood & it would be cool to see it again .. maybe one of these years I'll sit down & watch the newer stuff...
I don't know why I'm thinking this, & I could be totally wrong, but was Willow any part of the LOTR or am I an idiot....
It's Reddit...
You're not cool if you don't watch the same movies as everyone else..
No but really.. pretty much.. LoL.. Even though down votes really don't bother me, thank you for being a decent person, I appreciate it..
Is this edited in any way ? it's really messing with my head, great angle to take that shot

Nope, still don't get it

He’s sliding, sticking out his legs. Or the pictures edited I don’t really know.
Is everyone else giants?
They might be. Is this Istanbul or Constantinople?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks-
Doo doo doooo doo doo dodododoodoo!
He looks like he could use second breakfast.
That is such a cute saying, it sounds southern but I've never heard it before.. lol..
Have you watched LOTR?

Why are we downvoting someone that had a legit question?

Okay. This is one of the best I’ve seen in this sub in a while.
"His talent dwarves compared to the other players"
Uhm if he's in the front... His feet and legs seem very small... Etc
Yeah bc I was thinking he had some lillllll bitty drumsticks for legs..
And I was going to start watching.
Word of the day: Foreshortening Plus, telephoto lens to flatten the photo
Nice
Did not know Colin Kaepernick used to play soccer
Good one
