Shadows...
By definition, the top of a shadow caused by the sun on flat ground will line up back thru the subject to the source of light.
The bottom of this image illustrates the point. No matter where we take this photo, the shadows will always run back towards the sun.
The POINT being that shadows will never converge in the direction opposite the light source... that would be counter intuitive and look really strange... as we will see...
You see the inset of the BYP above, but let's see the entire thing. If anything, the post's shadow should be a slightly larger angle so it converges at the light source over the right shoulder of the photographer...
Instead, what we see is that Oswald's shadow and the stairway post's will ultimately converge opposite the light source...
Let's use the famous Nov 29th version of the photo not seen or found until 1977. The stand-in's shadow and the stairway post shadow are in virtually the same direction leading back to the light source behind the camera.
Oswald's shadow and the post converge behind him...
This is not possible with the physics of light. The BYP is a composite
