Optical Illusion or Realistic Picture

[blklangshandude]

I haven’t accepted this picture as accurate. Like the saying goes, “Don’t believe anything you hear and only believe half of what you see.”

Is this a realistic possibility or is this picture photo shopped or taken at an angle to exaggerate the optics? It just doesn’t look right to me. It’s a great picture though.

The bird is held close to the camera.(Makes the bird look bigger)

If the bird is held close to the body of the guy holding it, actual size can be seen.

Picture is real.

I think there is an element of illusion going on. It's a big bird for sure but because it's closer to the camera than the man, it looks larger and he looks smaller to some degree....

Or he's a small dude.

Eta - darn it @MysteryChicken! Stole my thunder.

Optical illusion. I would like a Brahma that big, though. I'll take 7

My Mom just showed me that picture the other day and asked me if it was real!

From being on here on BYC, I've seen a few Light Brahma rooster pictures that looked very similar to that one. So I know it is real. My thoughts did go to capon, but I don't know if that is one. Seeing @MysteryChicken's post, I think it might be the angle.

Can you get feedbags for chickens? I could lash them to a sled and have them tow me around in the winter.
