Thepicture is a common shot called a trophy shot. The camera is set up close to the animal and the hunter is further back with his arms streched forward. This makes the animal look larger than it is compared to the hunter. If you look at the gun, it goes out of the picture because the camera is so close.That said, this is still a great buck with a lot of mass and points and would make most any hunter very happy. Congrats to who ever harvested it.
Trophy shot or not, the camera was either equiped with a fish-eye style lense, or the picture was altered using fish-eye effects on any common PC picture program. Look again at the first pic. His elbows are bent. His arms aren't even fully extended and the brow tines are almost as wide as the hunters shoulders! This is only possible with effects, not camera placement. If I am wrong, then congrats to the hunter on the new world record whitetail!
