Discuss photo: Villisca Barn

First I have to comment about the house itself. When I first saw this I was a bout to make a comment about how the photograph was snapped while moving because the entire top of the house looks skewed to the right.

But then as I was going over the evidence I noticed that there is a stick or pole to the left which is perfectly straight. That told me that it was not the photograph but the entire house which had a skew in it. Then I started noticing the stress marks in the pillars at the front, exactly where the skew is. Wow, I guess this little house has seen some heavy winds or something as it really seems to be almost pushed over at the top.

Going on to look at the image itself. Excellent find, it appears to be a female and the hair style and dress looks to be a 19th century style. Perhaps 1860-1880 era. I've highlighted the area, and also increased the contrast and brightness on it.

can't see any reason for a reflection. The head seems large, so out of context, whch also leads to it not being a reflection since the subject would have to closer, thus in shot. Also the height of the person would put them standing in the ground so for me it's a good one that i can't see an explanation for
