I said it could be the end of a sleeve, or could be a purse, or could be the artifact of the processes used to enhance the image. I also warned people about jumping to conclusions from photographs that have been deliberately altered, for whatever reason. Let's take the "Badgeman" fiasco as an object lesson here.
That being said, I am pleased that my observations might have contributed in some small way to the understanding of the PM mystery. I just don't regard them as proof of any particular idea or proposition.
I don't think the photo was altered in any way that would fabricate the things I'm pointing out. There are legitimate uses for contrast enhancement in photo analysis and I think Duncan has made valid use of them.
You did detect and point out the things I cited, so however you want it interpreted you were reacting to something you saw. I personally can see the open sleeve end. And it does look like there's the upper end frame of eyeglasses on Prayer Man's left eyebrow.
