Model Lying Flat on Hard Floor

The model is lying on a hard flat floor. This photograph shows the right arm is not long enough to reach the lower left hip position that is shown on the Shroud image. The model's shoulders are flat on the floor and this has pulled the arms back across the body. Even to get the arms to this position involved the model in stretching forward. Note that the shoulders are both at the same level

The model's arms are just too short to reach into the position adopted by the image on the shroud
