Not trying to insult....Sorry if it came across that way.
Look at it from purely physical dimensions. The double french doors are 72" wide (standard width for a double 3 pane door). And another 48" for the distance between the doors and fireplace occupied by the poster on the wall and the chair in front. The parallel lines are meaningful because the JP is oriented perpendicular to the flooring boards, and so the parallel lines DO show the approximate location of that machine on the far wall. It's also obvious that the JP is in line with the couch. Probably another 2' into the fireplace.
Add all that up, and the JP in the second photo is ~12 feet away from the wall where the big screen TV is under the balcony.
Is it your contention that the first picture showing the simpsons is 12' away from the wall with the TV on it, and that the shadow cast into the corner of that wall from the backbox of the simpson's is 12' away?
Given that the 1st picture was taken from the back of the room behind the couch towards the TV wall (because you can see the pendant light fixtures), if it were 12' away, would you not be able to see the corner of the back wall instead of it being obscured by the Simpon's Pin?
