I was looking for a larger version of this photo on the Google, and found three photos of pretty much the same scene, but with different people. Compare the photo above with the one from today's NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/07/world/asia/07kim.html?scp=3&sq=Kim%20Jong%20Il&st=cse). Clearly not the same group of soldiers around him. Also notice that the leg shadow is what you'd expect. That horizontal line? Missing from this photo too. But...compare again with the photo found here http://www.lindsayfincher.com/news/kim_jong_il.jpg. "Correct" shadows, horizontal line in place. Also different body shadows, indicating a different time of day. Finally, he appears to be wearing brown shoes as opposed to black shoes as above (but that could be a trick of the light). What does it all mean? At the very least, it means that Kim Jog Il likes to get his photo taken in front of groups of soldiers. But I don't understand why the horizontal line is missing from some shots. So... were the pictures taken on the same day? If so, why the different color shoes, and what about that pesky horizontal line? Different day? More plausible but, again, what's with the horizontal line? Any one have any ideas?

It would explain the odd shadow, the lack of a black horizontal line and the "mismatched" blue line (a section that was cut out and left empty). I want to see the full-size version of the entire photo. It looks like the shadows behind every soldier's leg is doing something different... providing total shadow, half shadow, etc. The shadow two soldiers to the right has a much straighter shadow than the two tilted ones next to Kim Il Jong. My guess: Photoshop work was done to present a more-perfect image, but it's not necessarily evidence his entire body was Photshopped into the image. The shadows on his own clothing caused by ripples in the garment appear similar to those of the men around him. Seriously, they don't have hundreds of images of their leader standing in front of soldiers? I'd be surprised if they needed to doctor such an ordinary image.
