Linda Walton sent me the image URL and I have zoomed in on the photo. The
buckle on the belt slightly to her left side. The belt's bottom rests and
about an inch above the bodice's bottom. This seems a bit odd location to
me. Has anyone seen this fashion trend?
The flowers are carnations. The stems' bottom is tucked behind a fold in
the dress. They are probably pinned to the belt. On the other hand, I do
believe the photographer added the flowers later. There are no shadows on
the dress from the flowers. For a matter of fact, there is a line of
lighter gray/ almost white pixels around the edge of the flowers. There are
some unusual pixels that don't seem to belong. I am very experienced to
working with photos at this high of magnification.
Her pupils do seem to be painted. There is no definition/variation in the
pixels' color/shades like with normal photos. Her right eye is also closer
to the bridge of the nose than the left. Judging by the shadows around her
eyes, they are normally open.
The shadow that I saw under her left ear is the chair.
