Not only that, but the light source that's creating the shadow gets smaller (in terms of arc length), so the shadow becomes more crisp.

When it's a crescent shape, it's also more crisp in one direction. So if you hold up a square and make a shadow on the ground, two sides are sharp, two sides are blurry. Or if you look at your own shadow, it's a mix of sharp and blurry edges, which looks unusual.
