Good one Alastair, at least the bench top provides a good contrast?

You obviously have a very quiet household... ;-)

Wonderful, Alastair! And a fun 'take' on the topic! ~Lydia

Thanks Nico and Mary Anne. Mary Anne, you have the right general idea, but not the details. The pin was actually suspended by yellow thread attached near the point, so it was touching the counter top (yes, our kitchen counter top is that yellow--not our choice, we have had too many other priorities to change it yet) and at an angle. Then I cloned out the thread.

At 1/6s I suspect that the head of this pin is somehow stuck to the surface beneath it. Still, it's a good shot, and the scratches are a nice touch.

Now why didn't I think of that! :-)

Super concept. Nice and sharp (no pun intended). Regards Nico
