I posted the following on the March 9 thread.......want to bring it over here to discuss a bit more:
"In regards to the shadows or reflections....on the red car we see light patterns of red color...as if something is shining through and casting shadows. Immediately, on the paramedic, on Michael's head, cutting through the upper portion of pic...we see reflections...not shadows. They are all the gold-ish color. Can you actually have shadows and reflections like these going on at the same time in a photo?
I am not sure......not when they are so close."
Now for today.....
I feel like I have fresh eyes this morning........
I am having a "dah!" moment.....
It's June 25th...correct? Bright sunny day with things in bloom....including the beautiful GREEN trees...correct? Why are we seeing what looks like brown leaves as the reflection? There is not a single brown leaf on the ground, let alone any tree in sight. What is the reflection of the gold-ish colors...very leafy looking. Fall comes to mind as the time of year. But, I think those are probably evergreen trees. If you watch the classic video, stop around 1:32 or so. There is a reflection in the ambulance window that glances by....it's a green tree. If we are seeing a reflection of the trees at all...they should be green, not brownish-gold.

Also in that post from March 9, I talked about how I feel the answers are in plain sight....right in front of our eyes. When I take a photo of the inside of my car, holding the lens right up to the window, I get very very little, if any, background reflections. I believe Ben talked about how the photographer held the camera. When I pull the camera back just a little bit, I get my reflection and some background. All in all, it does not work....this photo is so fake and so put together. However, all things for a reason. Was Michael just out to pour a little salt in the wounds of pained fans......no. I think there are valid clues and insights within the photo. I believe the timing is one thing that can be looked at. Time of year, time of day.....early afternoon, would it be possible to have shadows coming onto the window in that direction?
OK, break time......hope I haven't bored you to tears too much, lol!
Blessings for a bright beautiful day!
