I think the object LOOKS bigger because the picture is taken from ABOVE the man nearby which foreshortens his appearance and makes the object look bigger.

Yea, I think you are right. If you look at where his hands are in relation ot his legs, his legs look like they're about a foot long. Must've been using a wide angle lens with a short aperture (I could have that backwards). When I took my amateure photog class we had to take a picture which showed how you can make objects in the background shrink or grow in relation to the foreground. I think aperture was the setting. (yes, I'm still an ameteur! :o)
