It is an outrageous statement, and I think the members will agree.
He's at least a foot further back, maybe even two or more. I'm sorry for saying this Dr Cinque but we are now talking basic competency. Again, I am 100% (that is, betting the house) certain credible experts will prove me correct on this. There's a simple reality you need to acknowledge here. The simple reference point for the location of the subjects in question is the shade line itself. It is a basic fact that the reason the shade line cuts through Black Tie Man's face and then proceeds to darken Raised Arms Man's face is because they are in alignment to it. The shade line is a solid reference point that determines the reality here and people's locations.

Dr Ralph Cinque Wrote:And why just Raised Arm Man's face? Why are his arms lite up so brightly by the sun if he's in the shade? And regarding the effects of his hands, notice that the woman below him has one arm raised similarly. But, there is not even a partial black hole effect with her. And Doorman is not craning at all. You're seeing things.
Uh, maybe because his arms are just forward of the shade line perhaps? You seem to be directly ignoring what I already explained. Raised Arms Man's arms are lit up and his face is darkened exactly because he backed-up just far enough to shade his eyes. In other words he used the shade line as a tool to shade his eyes. This left his arms still in the sun to do their job of shading. He's right where he should be if he was using the shade line to shade his eyes.
The woman shading her face with one hand isn't a valid comparison. There's no shade line with her and she's closer to the camera.
If you don't see Lovelady's obvious craning posture around the doorway corner column we are back to competency issues again - sorry.

Probably due to my tendency for glib declarativeness.
By the way, you could perfectly repeat that shade line today if you took a photo on November 22nd at 12:30.
