No, I’m saying that he doesn’t appear to have a broken nose, I’m saying that he doesn’t appear to have a three-dimensional human skull. I’m saying that the shroud, approximately 4.4 meters long and about 1.1 meters wide, appears to have been laid out flat, with the subject body placed on it lengthwise, heels at one end. The shroud was then pulled more or less taut and folded over the crown of the head and face and down the length of the anterior body to the toes. Except it wasn’t, because the figure in the shroud is missing the crown of its skull. The image almost reflects on itself, with the top of the image’s forehead touching the extreme “corner” of the back of the head. The top of “Jesus” head is completely missing!
Ok, call me dense, but are you saying that the Shroud is a hoax?
I think that you are mistaking a water stain for the back of the head touching the front of the head without a gap. Take a look here:

On the right is the top of the front of the head and on the far left is the top of the back of the head. There is a gap there where the crown would be.
