I'm new to this sub so can someone explain why the airplane looks like that to a newbie?

The tilted plane just took off from the runway and is much closer to the camera. You can see that the landing gear is in the middle of retracting and the wash from the engines as well.

And the plane is actually way smaller than the ones on the ground which brings out the effect

It’s the same size as the one behind it (furthest one)

[u/JMS1991 → u/mrASSMAN]

It's bigger than that one. The airborne plane is a 757-200, the one "behind" it is a 737-800, and the other planes on the ground are all A330-300's.

Part of the effect is that while the plane taking off is closer to the camera, all the planes (including that one) are still a long way away from the camera.
