TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady?

[Ralph Cinque]

Doyle, you admit that shade from the lintil is causing slivers of shade over Doorman's t-shirt on both sides. Obviously, it is darkening the t-shirt but not obliterating it. We can still see the margins of the t-shirt very well, and we are not confused.

Why should it be any different for chin shade? When you look at that darkness underneath his chin which forms the big expanse of vee, notice that it is consistent throughout. There is no differential between how it looks where it covers his skin as opposed to how it looks when it covers the portion of his white t-shirt that you say is covered. And you claim it is covered so well that it is making the t-shirt look like it is naturally v-shaped- a perfect illusion.

But skin is tan to brown in color, and the t-shirt was definitely white. That's a big contrast. Shouldn't that create a different result in terms of how each is manifested within the shadow? Why is it very uniform and indistinguishable as the shadow passes from skin to shirt? It is one consistent dark triangular space. That should not be if there are two different mediums being affected. Surely, we would see some difference, no matter how subtle, and enough to tell where skin ends and shirt begins. Look at it again.
