Screenshot 2023-11-05 at 12.18.41 PM.pngThis is the shadow that I am getting in the R%5. Any idea why this is happening. I have 2 5D MarkIII and I wish I had never upgrade to R5. I just dont like the colors, contrast and these terrible shadows.

This is very hard to assess with a very limited amount of information - you are not proving the information we are requesting and will not let us see an original photo. We need to know any specific settings you have made to the camera, and ALL of the EXIF data.  We don't even know for sure what PP has been applied!
It's like going to a hospital, refusing to be examined and not giving all the symptoms.  We cannot provide a decent diagnosis under those conditions.

The R5 is an awesome camera, and way ahead of any of the other cameras you own, but is has a focus and exposure system that may take some getting used to. 

I suggest you go out without a client and take a couple of photos that exhibit these symptoms and post a link to the RAW, unprocessed images. Then we can help you.

I'm not clear about your gear.  Above its 5D3, then below its 5D4?  Regardless, the R5 is 10x more capable than either of them.  Is the lens an EF 50mm f1.8 or f1.2?  Shutter speed was?

You have the eyes of several experts on your thread.  We are happy to try and help, but that's difficult with a sliver of a photo, incomplete information about your gear and pieces of EXIF data for us to speculate on.  

If the website I found under the same name is you, its safe to say you know what you are doing, but this isn't some of your best work.  It appears to be a combination of bad lighting and poor exposure.

If you haven't heavily modified any of the camera settings, or modified picture styles, etc, its just a bad shot.   

I've been scouring my photos for something similar. I have seen a similar artifact like this once or twice, and if I find one, I'll try and post it for comparison.
