Is Legolas... a CGI double in "Shores of the Long Lake"?

Every time I see Legolas behind Tauriel and tell her to "take leave of the dwarf"... That is not a human actor! It's such a jarring visual. What does everyone think? There's something unnatural about him in that scene. I mean, Legolas has looked a bit off in this trilogy (no complaints from me) but this scene is like woah. That's someone else entirely!
"[Annatar598] is an overzealous apologist [for PJ]" - Certain TORn member.
Really? Alright...
Well, proud to be one I guess.

Greenscreened, probably.

I don't think he is 100% CGI, but he certainly looks quite a bit off.

Thank goodness it is only a relatively brief glimpse, because he truly does look like a zombie – like some of the visuals of him in DoS.
In all other scenes in BoFA apart from this one, he looks relatively OK.

The character's face is so smooth and sharp-looking and his features are so different, it's like it's not even the same person. The two seconds later the character is back to looking perfectly fine - very nice IMO.
That was an odd moment, don't know why the CGI smoothing??? would have been carried to that extreme - or even needed at all - OB is a handsome guy! *baffled*
I agree with the word "unnatural" as this looks, for a few moments, like a relative of Legolas, not Legolas.

"The danger with any movie that does as well as this one does is that the amount of money it's making and the number of awards that it's got becomes almost more important than the movie itself in people's minds. I look at that as, in a sense, being very much like the Ring, and its effect on people. You know, you can kind of forget what we were doing, if you get too wrapped up in that."
- Viggo Mortensen

... in that specific scene Legolas looked very awkward.
Almost like a vampire from the Twilight series

I do remember seeing Legolas in that shot and thinking 'he looks younger and more like the LOTR legolas here'. Was pleased he didn't look as much older as he did in DOS. Anyone suggesting he's CGI has gone bananas, he's clearly not.

Though worse than his looks is how he comes across here... like some creepy stalker.
"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." J.R.R. Tolkien
We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

could have been lighting, makeup, or just a random acting oddness...
