Hi Laurent, the photo is using a very long focal length lens which 
compresses distance and exaggerates perspective. Looks like an 700mm or 
higher lens.

One of the POV gurus may know how to convert standard camera focal 
lengths into POV statements, but I don't :-(

You should read sections 2.3.1.1.3, 2.3.1.1.4, and  2.3.1.1.5 of the 
POV-Ray docs about camera angles and distance.  If its possible, you may 
be able to do it with just the direction & angle keywords, or else try 
moving your camera further back and use a smaller angle.
