As I look at it again, I see Kerry and the shirtless man have very similar stances and should have nearly identical shadows on their necks -- but they don't. Kerry has two shadows... almost as if his head was pasted over another guy's head and a drop shadow added to go with the light source on his face -- which didn't match up with the original light and shadow.

I wonder if the globe printed from a negative, hard print or computer image...

I know nothing about photography, but after reading your post, I'm wondering if there is an explanation for the different shadows cast by Kerry's head (far to his right) and the head of the guy in the middle (directly below his chin.) The two men look oriented exactly the same to me, so shouldn't the shadows be oriented the same?
I'm also curious about the long shadow on Kerry's right arm from his shirt sleeve wrinkle, also cast far to his right. At this point, nothing would surprise me.

Not to mention that either the black guy or the white dude on his left is missing an arm.....

And why does said shirtless white dude's head cast a symmetrical shadow -- to the front as if backlit -- while Kerry and another guy have shadows that trail off to the right of each man's head??

Would camera flash account for those shadows?
