FTR I hate this pickup and agree with the sentiment of this photo, but I feel like there’s some skewed perspective tricks going on based on this manually photoshopped drag to relocate (no resizing of anything in photo) to demonstrate.
I think the perspective issue is that the person you’ve dragged down is further back than the bicycle. Try dragging them just in front of the bicycle by the tank and I think they’ll still look tiny.
That’s kind of the point. If you compare where the camera is in both pictures:
In the tank photo, based on that you can slightly see the top of the Tank Hull, and are looking down at the 2 service members right side that the camera is roughly in line with where the tank barrel joins with the turret. Photographer is likely standing on something, or using a tall tripod.
In the truck photo, you can see the top of the bike seat and the underside of the side mirror so the camera is roughly in line with the gas cap. Photographer is crouched.
Combine that change in height with the use of a shorter lens which quickly distorts the size (service members close and huge vs. dragged person on top of turret looks tiny) and you can see that it isn’t a truly fair comparison.
Idk what tank this is, but the M1 Abrams is 26 ft long and the F350 is ~21 with the extra seats, I don’t think the comparison is unreasonable. There might be some perspective distorting things (doesn’t look like a 20-25% difference there) but… Not all that much really.

Why’d you shrink the wank tank down in your collage?
I can clearly see the bike wheels are different sizes.
Also, I don’t think perspective does much here. The bike stands flat against the object in both photos.
It hasn’t been resized. You’re seeing things.
