17. the arm shadow actually doesnt alter the length...

because in reality, the Presidents arm is straight with his hand resting on the chair. This is obvious even without seeing the original. However, if he were to bend at the elbow, the elbow would definitely be several inches higher that this photoshopper would have us believe. The photoshopper didnt bother to create the elbow needed to make the arm-bend believable. Seriously. The President would have to have a 4' arm to make that pose realistic. Its just not humanly possible.

I'd be fired for trying to pass this off. Trust me.

on edit: an easier way to explain. Picture that right arm straightened. It would be down to his knee.

No, that is the long shadow on the wall, note how long the shadow is down from Obama's left hand. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2013 #13

I expect it is simply an out-take from before the formal is made. Note the angle. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2013 #12
