[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - normally outdoors in bright conditions (not necessarily sun out) the pupils (black inner circles) are at their smallest. The iris controls the amount of light getting into the eye and keeps it at an optimum level for vision - closing the pupil in light conditions and gradually opening it to its widest in the dark.
Dilated pupils in normal outdoor light conditions (or even indoor brightly lit conditions) is abnormal. The normal response if your pupils are wide in normal daylight (anyone had dilating eyedrops at the opticians will know) is to shade or cover your eyes, as it causes discomfort. See:

Easy to check this out looking in a mirror - close your eyes for a bit or turn the light off (you've got to look quickly as the iris responds quite quickly).
The above sounds slightly patronising - not intended, just thought better to put it simply.

Also, adding to my point about the height of Madeleine in relation to L Payne:

Madeleine is actually TALLER than L, who can quite obviously reach the veranda door handle, which we were assured by Kate was impossible.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Conclusion - Madeleine could reach the door handle in 5A easily, which supports the idea that TM were swinging wildly for the fences to make sure everyone bought the abduction theory in the beginning.
I'm having trouble finding Kate's exact quote on this. I feel as though it were a throwaway comment in a documentary but I don't have the heart to sit through hours of that voice. Anyone here able to remember where Kate 'rubbished' the idea that Madeleine could reach the patio/veranda door handle?

Re: Photographs revisited - questions
Bumping this this thread because I am curious about these two photographs. I don't think that they have been tampered with but given the McCanns association with Everton I wondered whether these photos were placed in the media purely as an advert for Everton. If that was the case, are they genuine or has the shirt been photo-shopped onto her?

I've always suspected they were released as part of the 'good marketing ploy', mirroring the poor Soham girls photos in United shirts.

If you look at a larger version of the second photo, and look at Madeleine's right shoulder (as she faces us), up near the neckline of the jersey, under her hair, you can see a distinctly different patch of fabric that is a different shade of blue, as well as a different texture.

Either there was a patch job done on the original jersey, or a patch job done on the digital image.

Nope. Madeleine's shirt is missing the seam that runs down from the neckline along the arm. Plus her shirt is short-sleeved - it's not the same shirt at all.

Re: Photographs revisited - questions
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - I've posted this on another thread but no idea where - look at MBM's height in the kitchen shot. We are told she was 90cm but the average worktop height is 90-91cm. If the camera lens is level with her head, she looks about 97cm. If the camera is above her level she would actually be taller than that. Remember the playhouse shot where her head is the height of the door - 98/99cm? was it?

Re: Photographs revisited - questions
IMO these have been released to appeal to Everton supporters, in the same way that the green and gold colour scheme was designed to appeal to Glasgow Celtic supporters. At the very beginning, Kate said that the green and gold were the "colours of Portugal" but that story soon changed when somebody pointed out that the "colours of Portugal" are actually green and red. Suddenly the yellow colour stood for "hope". Load of bullsh*t, the lot of it, it's corporate marketing in it's most base and crude form.
BTW I think the bottom picture is authentic but the top one is Maddie's head on another child's body. The angle of the head to the neck is all wrong.

Long sleeved or short sleeved, they are all made basically the same, with obviously less material for the kids versions which might change the lines slightly.
The ‘shoulder seam’ follows the line of the ‘sleeve seam’, which in the photo hits MM right at the top of her visible shoulder, which is why it doesn’t show.
In the other photo you can see the shoulder seam:

That's not to say it couldn't have been photoshopped on. I've no idea and her right arm seems remarkably out of focus in this copy of the photo

Re: Photographs revisited - questions
That could just be camera shake, but the placement of the head on top of the neck still bothers me (I would have placed it slightly further back) and there's evidence of a clone tool just above the fingers of the left hand, at the hairline.Doug D wrote:

Kids kits are sometimes cut differently.

Funny you should mention the right arm, to me it looks slightly out of position, but I may be wrong.

It would also depend on whether it was an authentic replica kit, or a cheap knockoff from some Leicester market stall.

The shirt is too big for her.
The seam starts at the point where the collar starts.
You can see the seam in the other picture.

Re: Photographs revisited - questions
Look at Wendy Murphy's head in the above banners. You could say it looks as if it's been photo shopped onto the neck, and her neck looks rather thin for the head! Look at John Gaunt's arm and hand, does it not look a bit strange and out of proportion, and what of his other arm, that looks really far back? My point is you can find lots of oddities in photos if you look close enough.

I used to make them. Same company.
Umbro used to sell "replica" kits - not sure it they still call it that.
The actual kits worn by the players were slightly different in terms of quality, and sometimes cut and material.
Certainly in terms of manufacturing care.

Re: Photographs revisited - questions
Well at least one of her tops she was wearing in Portugal came from Asda! I know this because I had exactly the same one. Only bigger, because I have bigger boobs. So there!Amy Dean wrote:I can't imagine Lady Kate slumming it at a market stall!

I'm shocked. If you worked in the industry all that time how on earth didn't you notice the different type of sleeves.
As someone who has made clothing since the age of 11, including technically the more difficult stuff including cutting on the bias, triangular inserts etc. the sleeves that Doug D's example is showing are 'raglan' style and the shirt Maddie is wearing is conventional.
I would have checked my facts out before claiming to have been in the industry for all that time, or at least kept quiet, for fear of showing such a basic ignorance.

Not a clothing expert, but if you look at the photo @10.39 where the shirt is actually being worn, I don’t think this is ‘raglan’.

Raglan sleeve from Wiki.
Just a big shirt on a little girl imo.

Re: Photographs revisited - questions
Not being picky DougD because as you know, I very much respect your posts, keeping us up to date on the political etc. side, including now, the Chilcott report which I hope will deliver what it is claimed to be, by the Times.
However, a raglan sleeve, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is one where the sleeve material is tailored and continued over the shoulder to become integrated in/ part of the neck line.
Normally, a basic T shirt will be front and back panels joined together in a seam along the shoulder and the sleeve entered into the armhole at the arm end of the shoulder seam.
A 'raglan' will be a diagonal, whether it continues from (front and back of) neck to right under the arm, to the shirt side seam, or is integrated as part of a more complicated side panel, and/or interesting design feature, with the sleeve extending at any rate into the neck line.
I do wonder if the two photos are of different T shirts nevertheless.
Neither seem to fit her well, and the one does seem to be bigger than the other.
As for the neck triangular piece, it does look like the folded back part (mini collar) of the male adult raglan type insert which constitutes the upper part of the sleeve. What it is doing on the 'conventional' sleeve cut is anybody's guess. The whole thing to my mind is 'publicity'.
I'm more concerned that Maddie has the coloboma in the one photo, which apparently she didn't really have at all, and as Kate says, they (the parents) never really made much of it anyway.
"LOOK" says Kate, No Coloboma !!

You can stick your "shocked".
Regardless, the shirt Madeleine is wearing has the seam starting where the collar starts - you can see the seam in one of the photos.
It is too big for her.
I don't see what the problem is, the seam is in the right place in relation to the collar and Madeleine isn't filling the thing.
The seam is in the right place in relation to the collar.
Once again people are making mountains out of molehills over photos.

Official Find Madeleine website update - 3rd May 2009 (Anniversary campaign)
[color:b33e=000000]Everton and Sunderland Football Clubs kindly helped us -once again - to remind everyone about Madeleine and the fact that she is still missing. The football community as a whole has helped us hugely over the last two years and we are so grateful for this show of support and solidarity across all clubs and colours. It is incredibly uplifting to have so many supporters with all the passion and pride they display, standing by Madeleine and willing her home. Thank you!

Raglan sleeve my bottom.
There is one seam and it joins the front and back panels.
It isn't in the normal place, it is slightly over the shoulder at the front.
The join starts where the collar starts.
Madeleine's collar is sitting on top of her shoulder and that is where the join is.
I'm shocked at the lack of digging some posters are prepared to do.

Re: Photographs revisited - questions
Except it isn't. There's clearly no seam running from the collar edge down the sleeve. The collar edge is sitting by itself. Madeleine's sleeve is joined to the rest of her t-shirt by a seam that runs all the way around the sleeve. It's visible on both arms.BlueBag wrote:Seeing as bobbin hasn't bothered to respond to my post (which shows I absolutely do know what I'm talking about), I'll show who is ignorant and who isn't.bobbin wrote:
