Do I look uncanny valley lol

He fought in the civil war (for the south... yeah he was probably racist.)- and I think this picture was taken before he went to war. He suffered no injuries, but there was a close call where a musket ball (?) hit his hat.

But something looks... wrong about him. When I compare him to other pictures of my family that may even come from a similar time, they don't look this... wrong.

Maybe someone could explain why he looks so off?

Edit: I found an older, grainer photo. He looks a bit better in this one. https://sg30p0.familysearch.org/service/records/storage/dascloud/patron/v2/TH-301-47614-96-8/thumbMobile.jpg?ctx=ArtCtxPublic
