      “Bent” is an old word for “crooked, fake”. It’s not a photography term, it’s plain English, the guy’s just too much of an asshole to clarify.

          Sure. So have a word with downvoter, who is pretending he can’t possibly imagine what bent means, when used to describe an image, and seeking to belittle my comment with a fallacious appeal his expertise as a life time hobbyist photographer.

            I literally have no idea what it means. You can bend a stick. How do you bend a photo which is a 2D plane. Some warp tool?

            There’s nothing going on in this photo, except for photographer standing closer to the truck, and maybe a cheap tilt-shift effecr, but that doesn’t even mess with the perceived size.

            Since you stated that the photo is “bent”, like an expert, I’ve addressed you like an expert.

            Show some doubt sometimes, especially when you have no idea what you are talking about.

        “Unsurprising”? why aren’t you simply nice and explain what you meant?
