What brick building Painter? Ignore the buildings for a sec. Just focus on the visible features in the plume. I have difficulty accepting the fact that there is a 90 degree difference in perspective when I can see pretty much the exact same shapes in the same locations within the plume...
Ok, on closer inspection I'm wrong. I didn't even see 7 in the first picture until I looked again.
I don't think the pictures have been doctored. They were taken with zoom lenses from far away. IOW, they are zoomed in on their subject with a long focal length which distorts the depth.
CF: The first pictures is taken close to the subject zoomed out with a wide angle (short focal length). The second photo is taken further away, but zoomed in (long focal length).
