Not surprising it messes your head. Unless girl is suspended in mid-air, her shadow should be between her body and the water...
It is, just there above the feet of the microphone stand.
The big shadow in the foreground is obviously from an out-of-shot flagpole.
Makes sense, thanks!
Must be a very long flagpole as shadows are extremely short here.
I think your head has been messed with Hellymedic.
The shadows are long not extremely short. The sun must be low down (guess: 60 degrees)
There's a shadow of a flag and flag pole on the sand. The flag and pole are probably 20 feet behind the camera).
There's a woman speaking, stood on a wooden board on the sand, I'm guessing 12 feet further away than the flag shadow.
The shadow of the woman and microphone is also long but not obvious (except for a small bit of the mic you can just see).
