If light source is hard but all shadow edges are soft what inconsistency exists?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The light quality and shadow-edge behaviour do not match
Hard light generally produces distinct, relatively sharp shadow edges. Therefore, showing a hard light source while rendering every shadow edge as soft creates a mismatch between the quality of light and the depicted shadows. Soft edges are more typical of a broad or diffused light source. Exam tip: hard, concentrated light gives sharper edges; diffused light gives softer edges.
