We know that during a solar eclipse the apparent sizes of the moon and the sun are very close. This might be two or more superimposed photos, but it was not a single photo.

I don't see how the sun and moon could appear to be so extremely different in size. Is this a Photoshop manipulation of reality for 'artistic' effect ?
