This can't be right?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I snapped this image on Sunday in Hyde Park with the 80-200mm lens. Look at the guys left foot! It can't be that big, surely. It's not likely that the lens has distorted the image? Perhaps just a weird perspective?
Or just big feet?

Back in Kraut Land (that's where I come from) we used to say,
they (big feet) are extremely useful for stomping (stamping ?) out fires.

The image has not been distorted in Photoshop. The out of camera perspective has not been changed. It is just a strange image in that the foot looks too big.

Looks like there's a bit of elongation just from the way it's shot, but otherwise, yes, he has big feet.

Wow, you should be able to make millions off of this photo.

You didn't notice these feet when you took the photo? Looks like the other foot (judging by the toe) is just as large. Too bad there isn't a clear shot of his hands. I knew a fellow who was a little below average in size, but had the most enormous hands and feet. It looked like he was wearing baseball gloves or something.

No. This a genuine image. I was simply struck by the perceived size of the feet after I opened the image in PS. The guy didn't look unusual when I took the image...I was thinking how he looked like Max Dupains "the sunbather" and grabbed a couple of quick shots.

"big feet - little" patience for people who constantly talk about how big feet are, I mean seriously, they're just feet...

Where's the anecdote for big noses?
