The greasy thumbprint by the tack sells this. Maybe it's a shadow, but it doesn't look right

The greasy thumbprint

I think those 3 pixels are the tacks shadow. It's clear, so the needle would still cast a shadow

Yeah but the greasy thumbprint is funnier

Even "clear" things cast shadows. If you can see it, it's because some of the light is bouncing off and reaching your eyes, so at least that much light won't make it to the page

Right. I guess I meant the needle would cast a shadow as well as the plastic

I think it's too big to be a shadow, but I'm not a detective

It might be multiple overlapping shadows. blobfox, blobfoxdetective
