i flipped the space force pic upside down, and the lighting around the guys in the front seem different. look at their shoulders. makes me wonder if this is a composite.
Aha! The sun does NOT cast shadows in perspective. If it were close enough to cast this shadow, not only these soldiers but ALL of us would be torched.
Those shadows are either manipulated, or the true light source is just above and slightly behind these guys. Black hole sun?
Not up on that, but if I find some time I'll check it out - thanks for the heads-up! Happy to contribute - hopefully someone skilled in stegsolve can check it out.

The photo point-of-view adds perspective though. Search for similar (unrelated) photos in the sun, like "beach group photo".
There could be all sorts of trickery in that photo I don't know, but the direction of shadows looks normal to me.

I had just been looking at the men in front, men in back, hands behind back, folded in front left over right, right over left, and loose at sides.....
