BETWEEN SUBTLE SHADING AND THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT LIES THE NUANCE OF IQLUSION
A subtle shading is a HUE.
The absence of light could refer to NHODR (n\nHodr\nNorse (Scandinavian) god of winter and darkness).
Now look at the clear text solution in its matrix or spacing (try John's Kryptos site http://www.austininc.com/SciRealm/KryptosDetails.html).
Looking at the clear-text matrix, find the vertical words HUE and the NHODR. They will be in the seventh vertical Colum of the matrix starting with the word "BETWEEN".
Between the HUE and the NHODR (NHODR has a "?" in it which is to be ignored) lies the nuance of illusion.
LION is the word that LIES (a cute play on words) between HUE and NHODR.
The beginning of the Riddle was a set of directions to point you to the word LION and its two attached words LOCATION in the shape of an S.
The LION is a lead to the Great Sphinx, The Riddle of the Sphinx.
