Alike, aren’t they? But, to me, the gunman is Lar. I’ve lined them up side by side below.
Looking beyond different lighting, camera angles, facial expressions, hair length and so on, there are a number of real, albeit subtle, differences in their underlying facial structures. I’ll mention a couple: Owen has more flared nostrils than the other two, as well as a larger, deeper chin. He also has a less symmetrical face: notice how the lines of his eyes and mouth are not level, while those features in the other two pictures are parallel.
Regarding facial recognition software: I think that software that could distinguish between Owen and Lar is probably still prohibitively expensive, having been developed for billions of dollars by government agencies. But it’s coming. I think of it like the improvement in CGI. In some of the latest movies it is difficult to tell a real actor from a computer generated one - at least in action movies where subtlety of expression is not a feature.
A couple of other things, Shamrockgirl:
You might get a greater range of opinions on this one if you ask the moderator to move it to the main Photo board. People tend to look at that a lot more often than this sub-board.
And, finally, a bit off-topic:
Something odd is still happening with your photo posts. I was able to import Owen’s image straight into my software (PSE), but the other two wouldn’t take until I exported the downloads through Preview (Mac). I wonder whether you did something slightly differently with the scan (or the saving of the scan) of Owen’s picture compared with the other two. Sorry, can’t offer a solution, I’m not too technically savvy, but you might get more responders for future photo restores if it can be sorted out.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Peter
