His arm is behind him- which is why you cant see it.

Check on the website for Mystery Hill in North Carolina. There is are two pictures of 2 little girls standing on a concrete slab. One is smaller than the other. When they switch positions on the slab, the smaller one looks much bigger, even though the photographer hasn't changed position. It occurs because the concrete slab is tapered at the right side, making the brain perceive the person on that end to be further away. The same thing occurs in the picture above. Because we see the edge of the fountain sloping away from us to the right, the guy on the right looks much farther away (and thus smaller) than the guy on the left, even though they really aren't that far apart.

It's way too seamless for that trick to work. Plus still nobody's answered the missing arm or the overlap.
