Another point look at the position of the sign in the persons hands....it doesnt look quite right. Even with no wind.... a sign that size can't be held by the fingertips.Agreed, I've held signs and the physics aren't right - unless he has small poles going down the edge of the back of the sign - but how would those be held in place? I've put a pole down the middle of a sign with a bunch of tape, but the tape would show with two

Two photographers, at least four pics, orig res on three, multiple angles.
The guy was really carrying the sign.
