I’m not sure it’s a perspective issue at all.

It is also funny because the players look like midgets. While they are not exactly MBA players, it seems that the perspective (or height) from which the picture was taken is simply wrong.

Otherwise a good caption for it would be:

“Mela, minn hawn u ftit iehor ser tibdew thossukom strambi u tibdew tharsu lejn it-tfajliet…”

In fact they seem bemused, and it is perfectly clear that they have all been deliberately grouped there “listening” to Buontempo for the photo opportunity that this presents.
