Great find!

I also played with the brightness,contrast, and blurred it a little instead of sharpening. I see a man-shaped shadow on the right, BUT also, to the left of center, it looks like the face of a man from the turn of the century. He has that "Houdini hair" look of that period. Nine times out of 10, when I do this, I can debunk the claims made by the photographer. This one is very interesting! Good work! Donna

Nice catch!

humanoid shadow just means shadow in the shape of a person

What is a Humanoid shadow?

That's what it looks like to me,nice catch!

Here's what I got when I enhanced just the dark spot area:



Very interesting! The process I used is this...

Stretched the Levels so as to enhance the brightness and contrast.
Then I removed the noise using a noise filter. It also attempts to remove JPEG artifacts.
Finally I re-enhanced the contrast to bring out more detail again.

Very interesting, I increased the brightness and still can't make it out. At first it looked like a humanoid shadow. But when you increase the brightness almost to the point where the definition of the image breaks up you can see some detail that doesn't look humanoid. But not sure what it is. Great picture!
