Bynum's 7'1" and definitely bigger than Dwight. Not as much bigger as that photo makes it look though

Yeah, Bynum is taller, but the way the photographer angled the camera makes it seem more extreme than it really is.

Look. It's not a real picture. Look at the white around both of their arms. Did they have a flash going on both sides.
The two players were photoshopped into the picture. You can see the distorted pixels around their heads too.

Yeah looking at it again after reading your post, I agree. It's major fake.

This has been driving me crazy. This isn't photoshoped, Getty Image's Steven Dunn took this photo and as a reputable media stock photo site they don't go out of the way to photoshop the images to do something like this.
It is more of an angle situation like what NME posted. Bynum isn't looking at Howard he is standing in front of Howard and looking towards and smiling at one of his teammates who is off frame. The image was just convenient and was cropped to fit the situation of the NBA Finals and used by ESPN.
If you really want to you can contact Dunn and find out for yourself.
I'd expect our KF member Ryan who is a avid photographer to point this out before I did.

And professional photographers never airbrush models either. It's all real.
Whether its photoshopped or an illusion the entire point is to mislead the viewer to thinking something that is not real.

Dog On It!
In regards to this particular photo, that just isn't true. Anybody that looks at it can see they are not standing in front of each other and Bynum is not even looking at Howard. The fact is, that it is just perspective. It simply a matter of the difficulty of a two-dimensional photo to display the actual three-dimensional world. In this case, it's a matter of the viewer's own mind fooling him/her. Happens all the time, as the photo of the boy and girl in the room above shows, which is deliberately designed to dramatically display how the mind can be fooled.
