Photo #2 has been retouched - no question about it. From the touch ups, I figure the lead duck was exactly in front of the line of three and moved up. The belly of ducks 2 and 3 in the line of three are solid brown whereas the belly of ducks 1 and the lead duck are textured. If the lead duck were right in front of the line of 3 and moved, the belly's of ducks 2 and 3 would need to be filled. Since its solid brown, I can't tell - I can only point out that the bellies are different. The pavement below the line of 3 has been clearly "dusted over" with a repeating verticle slice of pavement from elsewhere and the grate under the lead duck has been dusted over also. Moving the duck from right in front of the line to underneath the mother duck supports russoto's observation that the lead duck is not in shadow (were he in front of the line, he wouldn't be) but now, he should be.
This may not show up very well but look inside the red circles:
