His hand appears disproportionately large because of the short focal length lens used at close range, and the hand's extension toward the camera. If you measure the depth of the hand, it is around 3/4 the height of his face, from chin to forehead... a physical impossibility. This is the way the TV fishermen take a three pound bass and make it look MASSIVE...by holding it a little bit out from their body, and having the camera operator use a short focal length lens.

I'll partly agree and understand what your saying.

However; this guy is 6' 6" tall, approx 280 lbs. His hands are huge by themselves. Now throw on a heavy military glove..

But yes. His hand is big.

I would venture a guess that if he really is 6'6", you're off by at least 50lbs unless he has chicken legs.

I was going to say: there's something not quite right about the size of his hand/glove in relation to her arm...
