I was going to push the report button on you as that looked soooooo photoshopped.
Barry was obviously about at least one foot away further from the camera than Vlad, but his head looks nearly twice as big.
There cannot be that big a disparity in their head sizes...

I agree it looks weird. So I did some investigating (of course
).Freeze the video here at 2:52:

copy it into Paint next to the photo above, adjust the size until they're about the same and you get this:
I don't think it's photoshopped. Maybe Putin just has a, erm, small head.

Or maybe someone used a telephoto lens.
I've seen pictures of the moon appearing WAY too big.
hmmm...
I'm glad it's the weekend.

Let's take Lord Kelvin's advice and try to measure...
When I zoom the picture above to 200 % and apply a dial caliper to my screen,
Obama's head measures 2.374 inches from chin to top of hair at his hairline. Putin measures 2.249 from back of jawbone (below ear) to top of his balding head.
Ratio is 1.056, Obama bigger.
Obama's ear measures 0.767, Putin's 0.0.774, Ratio is .991.
Putin with a bigger ear than O ? There's a surprise !
In the other photo at your link, again at 200%
Obama's head is 1.512 inch, Putin's is 1.329, ratio is 1.13.
Obama's head is five or ten percent larger than Putin's by two measurements ? In line with their heights i'd say...
That photo's got to be an optical illusion, combination of viewing angle and effect of a long lens ?
