Based on the votes, this photo was posted a long time ago. I don't think he/she posts on this site anymore, and he/she did not crop the image. A while back Pixdaus decided to change the size allowed, so all previously posted photos were shrunk.
I find it important and required a site seriously as it is given credit to the author of the picture so praised and voted on by all who visit here.
This photo is by the Brazilian Sergio de Mello Parisi a great amateur photographer who lives in the city of Florianóplis the state of Santa Catarina.
