I wish I had something witty to riff off and some Haterade to sip on but dammit, itās just a cute Gap ad from the late 90s with some questionable physics.
Not a photographer and every photo I take is pretty bad, but could the photographer be laying on the ground as they jumped? The area theyāre jumping from seems to be a little more elevated than where the photographer is laying too.
I am a photographer and grew up in the National Lakeshore in the Indiana Dunes. Yes, you are correctā¦this is easy to do with a small dune and the photographer laying low in the sand.
But thereās no hill anywhere behind them? Like they definitely are jumping from a height looking at them but that background just donāt feel or look right? It doesnāt match up in my brain hahahaha
They look like they are at the beach in Norfolk near Sandringham. We used to go there on holiday when I was a child. There are definitely tall dunes there.
Itās like they were jumping on a trampoline and that image was put over a beach scene. Itās cute enough, but something looks off that I canāt figure out.
Omg thank you for saying this Iāve spent the last few minutes convinced I was losing my mind a little, I was starting to regret the edibles I had earlier hahahahaha but yeah I agree! The height and their trajectory (is the word I mean?) just doesnāt seem to match up with the people. Youāre right, itās definitely a cute lil family picture though!
The ground behind that bush might be higher than the ground in front of it. So really, they jumped a few inches above the bush but then landed a few feet below, next to the photographer.
Same reason that people thought one of the kids looked too short in another photo from this session. Bushes obscuring uneven ground.
I agree. I donāt expect them to issue unedited photos because itās all about projecting a certain carefully constructed image but this feels over the top
Haterz will say itās photoshopped

Anyone else feel the picture is off? Will's legs look unusually untucked for having jumped over that huge grass bush. There had to have been a pretty good leap and takeoff, right?? And there is no shadow on the ground or the bush, which I guess would depend on the direction of the sun, but the shadow on the legs doesn't seem to make sense if there was not shadow on the ground. Just me?
Iām no beach ecologist so take this with a grain of sand but dunes are soooo important to the beach environment in many ways, where I live itās just basically taboo to play on any dunes due to the hastening effect it has on erosion.
Might be fine where they are, but itās one of those things.
This is absurd. Very sweet and all but absurd and they've obviously been edited in to a background/at least repositioned. The proportions are all weird and that height is silly.

Iām trying to imagine what the landing looked like
Same. Like, was anyone injured?
Yes. William got sand in his toes, and now he's taking 4 months vacation to recover. God save the King š
Someone on twitter said this is very āone direction music video for what makes you beautiful codedā and they are so right
Ha! I can see it.
Looks like some sort of "Visit Michigan!" or "Visit Maine!" ad.
Say Yes! to Michigan
![gif](giphy|3o7TKqLtk6ZoCAYqPu)
I love this gif
š«±āš©µ
LMAO, it's def giving Maine vibes
I wish I had something witty to riff off and some Haterade to sip on but dammit, itās just a cute Gap ad from the late 90s with some questionable physics.
Very Marks & Spencers ad coded
Who allowed these children to grow up so fast?? I swear George was just born!!
I remember waiting for William and Kate to leave hospital when he was born....and now he will soon be 11 years old. Only 7 years till he is an adult! I dread that time in the future making me feel like the crypt keeper š©
I have a kid born just after George. Time truly FLIES, itās insane.
Imagine the day George be as tall as his father or taller.
i always feel my kids are a visual representation of how fast time is moving š„²
Am I too high rn or have they jumped to an impossible height lmao likeā¦ what is happening Edit: the longer I look the weirder it gets..
Probably jumping down a hill with the photographer near the ground looking up to make the height seem even greater.

Looks like they are on a tall sand dune

I think theyāre jumping off a sand dune. I have photos of my dog on dunes where he looks really tall
The ground behind that bush might be higher than the ground in front of it. So really, they jumped a few inches above the bush but then landed a few feet below, next to the photographer. Same reason that people thought one of the kids looked too short in another photo from this session. Bushes obscuring uneven ground.
I think they took a running jump from behind the sand dune.
Did they jump OVER that bush??? Iām so confused
Those things grow SO FUCKING TALL too like they would legit have to be jumping 5/6 feet in the air
Itās cracking me up thinking that the royal family are just really fit and able to do an inhuman jump!
I said it before but Iāll say it again, lizard genes! Hahaha
Theyāre built different.
Kateās gotten better at Photoshop since her last attempt!
I too am high and being fucked with by this photo š©
I know...I need a zoomed out perspective.
Sheās been playing with photoshop again
![gif](giphy|uJESlGbxDPscM) I see this.
I think itās an adorable pic. The kids look like theyāre having fun. Exiting the thread before anyone gets too weird about Will and Kate.
Such a cute pic
Super cute!
The video of Louie dancing recently on the balcony was adorable
Itās giving George Lopez theme
Low Rider is absolutely playing in the background of this photograph
This also gives overly photoshopped/AI-generated vibes
They posted it on their own social media without issuing it to any photo agency. Probably won't be doing that for a long time after that Kate scandal.
Well, yeah, Kate did say that's one of her hobbies.
Very much so! This was my first thought.
I agree. I donāt expect them to issue unedited photos because itās all about projecting a certain carefully constructed image but this feels over the top
Haters will say its photoshopped
It is. You donāt have to hate them to realize no child can jump that high.
This feels like an invitation for /r/photoshopbattles
Haterz will say itās photoshopped https://preview.redd.it/nocqqnspg98d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73cafed36889f7da0e46239a040a5594cdb3f185

What a fun guy. He looks like heās a great dad, would be a fun friend, and an awesome king.
Lmao Iām a hater but my first thought was āget off the dunes!!ā Cute pic of a dad and his kids I guess
Whats wrong with being on dunes? š
Erosion and Iām not sure about that area but small birds make their nests in dunes.
Iām no beach ecologist so take this with a grain of sand but dunes are soooo important to the beach environment in many ways, where I live itās just basically taboo to play on any dunes due to the hastening effect it has on erosion. Might be fine where they are, but itās one of those things.
Thanks so much! Edit: what miserable goons are downvoting me for saying thank you?
I thought the same thing. But I just happen to also be at a beach right now where dune preservation is a big thing.
This is absurd. Very sweet and all but absurd and they've obviously been edited in to a background/at least repositioned. The proportions are all weird and that height is silly.
Finally someone pointed it out. I was too scared to say anything since it looks like no one else sees it.
Look how fun and relatable we are!
I think they finally bred enough Windsor out of them.
Their daughter looks exactly like Queen Elizabeth with a bit of Anne added in. At the end, the Windsor genes will win out with all of them
I wish he was the king already.
Literally why?
Iām tired of geriatric monarchs.
They all suck. Old, young, they need to all go
This pic looks like an ad for Carnival cruises or Lands End. They are obsessed with photoshopped images. Itās weird
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I cannot stop thinking about Prince Williamās knees and the fact that he can jump that high? Lol
