Shel, I can be more precise. The entire bottom of the pipe disappears in the shadow it creates. The smoking end with it's smaller diameter is entirely visible. The right edge of the bowl above and below the elbow has no definition as it is in the black shadow. I mention that this is how my laptop renders it because the laptop has no brightness adjustment. What you see is what you get, subject to some adjustment of screen angle. I usually don't have any problems with it and think that if you desired to evoke a dark, smoking den mood that you could still do so with a bit more definition in the pipe. Regards, Bob S.
