So much of the interpretation depends on where the leaves are at top left. They could be near the same plane as the man, or not. If swing was used, there would be a gradient in focus across the grass, and I don't see that. Without swing, and reverse (upward tilt), then I would expect more of the upper foliage to be in focus.

The photo quality is so low, it is hard to get much beyond a guess. I wonder why reverse tilt and swing, or any odd combination of movements, would be used in such a scene, and come up with an odd and distracting field of focus. But that's photography, of course.
