It's a little too blue; white balance is off so conclusions about surface originality are guesses. You have to assume the background for both...
You'd be amazed at what this technique does with a scanner. :)
It was completely sincere. You don't realize it - your viewpoint is on the wrong side of your work (the inside) to see, but it could not be more...
Challenge accepted. It may wait until my next days off - five days hence; I cannot write haphazardly - but it's never honestly occurred to me to...
Snerk. Messydesk has another issue to attribute. :D In all seriousness, I hope some day I'm as good at this as you are.

What they both said. It has, to me, the hazy appearance of beginning PVC plasticizer contamination. I would therefore advise more than a mere...
No, I came to my senses and became a logistics management type, dealing with trucks from the outside rather than the inside. :)
These days, it's almost antiseptic down there. You view the floor from probably 40ft above, in a self-guided walking gallery with exhibits all around.

I don't believe metal can either enter or leave the building in an employee's pocket. The struck nail probably had to become part of an outbound...
