Someone manipulated the original image using Photoshop. Simply put, they used color and/or copies of small portions of the image in an attempt to erase whatever was on the table. If you zoom in between Pompeo's pencil tip and O'Brien's hand, you can see that what should be reflected on the table based on a look at the ceiling does not appear as a direct reflection. This is irrefutable proof that the image was manipulated. I am an architect and Photoshop expert who uses these techniques -- although much more successfully than whoever edited this one! There's no question about this. It's a poor job,m but then this is likely a matter of national (if not international) security, so I'm not throwing mud at the editor. Hope this helps!
