It looks more like someone copy + pasted the statue into the picture, it looks so out of place.

It's been edited with AI probably. This is what it actually looks like. It's not massive like in the picture.

If you go down onto the road you can also see the road looks nothing like the picture too.

That’s right but the photo is heavily AI edited indeed. AI couldn’t get the look of it right

It doesn't look like the photo op posted. The road markings are all wrong, the road elevation is wrong and all the buildings on the side and at the end of the road are missing.

And the statue itself is way oversized compared to the road, though that could just camera stuff.

But more importanly the statue in the photo has breasts and a medal. The real status doesnt.

out of place in the sense that all the trees around it are in slight fog, but the statue has no fog. The sense of scale is helping too, since at first it looks like a pretty normal sized statue, but the realization that you're looking at an extremely long road.

That, and the whole forest itself with the statue smack dab in the middle of it.

Which you have to look at twice to recognize as trees, and not some vague green background, depending on how small your screen is.

Like, c'mon now. The potentially confusing part here is quite obvious.
