Even having the first row of people only sitting 5 feet behind the beast would give it the appearance of being much larger.

In this case a better picture would have had one of the locals laying down along it's back - or set the log on the back teeth and have a child sitting in the mouth.
Professional Hunters all pull the same tricks with long lenses and depth of field, however, getting tribesmen to sit on the croc, or horror of horror, put a child in its mouth , is going a bridge too far.
