For example, the corners are dark AND light, allowing more complex details than that low resolution version might offer by default. I wonder how they did that. If I only saw this picture alone, I'd assume it was faked. I guess they probably scraped the burn off parts of the bread. Is that cheating? Perhaps...

I'm guessing that if they opened a window, they would have made a lot of pigeons very happy. What happened to the toast once they were finished?
