Thought it might have been a cold shut or strikethrough when I first saw it ......... but it's a lam ..

Cool flaw. Need to do something about the colour of your light though. Or at least get your white balance right. ;)

BTW, lamination flaws are all cold shuts anyway... its only the depth that varies. ;)

:laugh2: .... Yes, I've been working on that. (This was taken using my little LED desk tamp reflecting off a foam box lid). Pretty ordinary ..... much like my Kodak EasyShare Z710 camera. (That cost about $90 from memory).

I do have a more elaborate lighting setup (that cost me all of $13 to set up). Will take some snaps later and post for your amusement.

LEDs shouldn't be orange... try a smooth white reflector, and also direct light.

No white balance on your camera? What is it? (I'm procrastinating and far too lazy to read the EXIF data)

BTW, I tried a really sloppy colour correction, +10 blue/green, -5 red:
