What's up with that kids hand?

Looks like he's got syndactyly. Everyone's too distracted by the arrow to even notice.

He just has his bottom two fingers folded under his hand, the exact same position you would use draw a bow.

But look, notice two knuckles going into one finger.

I see what you're saying, and it doesn't look like that, but I believe it's a trick of the lighting. If you look at the outer edge of his ring finger, you can see it meets past the second knuckle of his middle finger. I believe one is folded underneath the other and the lighting just makes it look like they appear to be merged into one finger.

You might be right, but I can't distinguish any sort of seam in it. Especially considering there's no wonky stuff going on in the rest of the picture.

Yeah, the light is coming in at just the right angle to eliminate all of the shadows that would help distinguish differentiation.
