If you follow up her leg with the ankle wrap look at the change of color of her leg right below the knee, that in no way has anything to do with shade. If you want to see shade look at her other leg just below skirt line.
Presuming the picture is a fake, what, exactly, is the point of making
that song girl a fake? Somebody put a different body on someone elses legs?
Seriously, Occam's Razor. Which is more believeable?
1. The picture is an elaborate fark schemed up by Sooner Fans because they want to portray one USC cheerleader as being dumb.
2. One blonde, USC cheerleader is actually dumb.
Again, the song girls are (1) standing under and/or behind a goal post/crossbar, (2) are holding pom poms in front of them, (3) are lit by stadium lights at a night game, (4) are being photographed during a TD celebration while 1,000 of flashbulbs are simultaneously going off, and (5) are being photographed from anywhere between 35-50 yards away.
vrbryant is right. If this is a fake, it's the most perfectly executed fake ever, because the crowd behind the cheerleaders is perfect; that would be a dead give away and incredibly difficult to pull off. The shadows are spot on. The cheering song girl has a shadow of the girl to her left (viewers' right) cast on her skirt (other girls' elbow). All the shadows even flow in the same direction. The girl you are pointing to is probably just standing one step in front of the other girls or is outside the shadow cast by the goal post.
