    The Photo looks pretty fake, as the guy casts no shadow.

    [@unicorn02] Maybe. It is a joke nonetheless.

    The benches in the background have their shadows right below them. The guys shadow is right by his feet. It is probably noon. Also, guilty.

    Very funny! Was caught for a moment myself. About the shadows, an overcast day will also mess with shadows, specifically when it is noon as well.

    [@unicorn02] At first glance, the damp patch fools you into thinking you are seeing a shadow, hence the illusion of “floating”.   Clever!

    Cute. I’d like to see this trick repeated all over the web–would be much cooler than, for instance, that idiot planking gag.
