“It’s the perspective.”

Normally, I would agree with you. Perspective in pictures and I don’t get along real well.

However, her head looks normal, why wouldn’t his? The picture looks like it was shot pretty much straight on by someone about the same height as 0 - if that is indeed him.

I also am not saying it’s real or faked, it just looks odd to me. Just like everything else that is associated with 0.

Seriously,
every photo from 0bama’s youth appears to be photoshopped.
Just something odd about every one of them - usually he or his head just appears too big.

Of course, I was referring to the cropped photo -- in which it appears that the camera elevation is about a foot above Obama's head (I assumed the ground sloped up a bit.) That would be enough to create considerable foreshortening of the body. You can see this effect in most snapshots. The best way to avoid distortion by foreshortening, when photographing a standing person, is to hold the camera at about the level of the subject's waist.

Then along came JennysCool and post #103. That uncropped (less cropped) photo indicates that the camera was further back -- thus the foreshortening effect would have been less.

In summary:

Obama or Fauxbama

The jury's still out.
