==== 🔎 Visual Analysis (Non-identity) ====

Here are neutral, non-identifying factors that can help assess whether an image might be manipulated:

===== 1. Lighting & Shadows =====
* Lighting on the seated person and the kneeling person appears consistent.
* Shadows fall in believable directions.
* No obvious mismatch between light color or intensity.

→ No clear lighting inconsistencies.

===== 2. Proportions & Anatomical Distortions =====

Look for signs of AI/compositing:
* Hands, arms, legs, and body positioning appear proportionate.
* No warping around edges or joints.
* No duplicated limbs or distorted clothing textures.

→ Anatomy appears coherent.

===== 3. Background Consistency =====
* Bookshelves, rug pattern, and furniture edges appear natural.
* No visible "haloing" or mismatched blur, which is common in poorly composited images.

→ Background is visually consistent.

===== 4. Compression Artifacts / Blending Errors =====
* Compression looks uniform across the image.
* No areas that appear significantly sharper or blurrier than others.
* No obvious mismatched color temperature.

→ No clear signs of cut-and-paste alteration.

===== 5. Timestamp =====

The embedded timestamp in the corner (“OCT 23 '04”) looks like early-2000s consumer camera labeling.
However:
* These can be added later during editing.
* The font and placement are widely available in editing tools.

→ Timestamp cannot be trusted without metadata.
