It’s a much wider field image. Look at the lower left 1/4th of the the image and the horsehead is almost centered in that section.

It seems reversed in that photo. The photographers have taken a longer exposure to bring out many faint features that aren’t visible in a lot of photos of those objects. You really can’t see the Orion Nebula unless you know where to look. The Horsehead is there, but a little difficult to make out. The Flame Nebula is to the left of the Horsehead. Sometimes the Flame Nebula is called the Burning Bush Nebula. Think of it that way, it may be easier to see.
It’s a great photo for showing the really faint features in that area of the sky, but it’s hard to pick out the objects’ named in the APOD title.

I have a Canon EOS R6 camera and it can pick up a live view of the colors of the nebula in the viewfinder.
I remember using film and hoping something showed up when develop....
