The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) analyzed one of these photographs (Willis #5) to see if there was a human figure on the retaining wall. Here is #5 for your review.
Willis # 5 entered as Hudson Exhibit #1 (better quality):

Here is what the HSCA said about this photograph (which was taken in color by the way).

(295) The retaining wall at the top of the knoll was subsequently enlarged by a computer operation similar to enlargement by photo-optical and photo-chemical techniques. This computer display made visible an object whose size and shape were CONSISTENT with a HUMAN being, positioned just inside the retaining wall. (See Fig. IV-8, JFK Exhibit F-160.) The object possessed colors with a distinct resemblance to flesh tones, as revealed on the color display. The Panel perceived the object to be that of a badly blurred IMAGE OF A PERSON, dressed in dark clothing, standing or leaning just inside the retaining wall.
(301) Based on these measurements, as well as visual analysis, the Panel concludes that the object was most probably of an adult person standing behind the wall. First, the general shape and the structure of the object, including the location of flesh tones, appear to be human. Second,.the height of the object in relation to the known height of the wall is consistent with that of an adult of average height (5’6” to 6’ tall). Third, the measured value of flesh tones of the object are comparable with those of people in the photograph. Fourth, an additional Willis photograph, No. 6 taken after the Presidential limousine had exited Dealey Plaza but showing approximately the same field of view as No. 5, NO LONGER SHOWS THE OBJECT near the retaining wall, or anywhere else; it has disappeared. (See Fig. IV-9.) The MOBILITY of the object GREATLY INCREASES the likelihood of its being a person. (HSCA, VI, pp. 122 & 124) (Emphasis added)

This is a very interesting stuff. The HSCA concluded a person was standing or leaning behind the retaining wall at the time of the shots. If you look at #5 you will see this angle is much more straight on than any shot from the picket fence could be, and thus, would account better for the head damage many witnesses saw to the right-rear of JFK’s head.
What do you think? Was this black shape a person or a blur?
