[QUOTE="Roaring20s, post: 3279253, member: 17270"]Well said, agreed. [ATTACH=full]298299[/ATTACH] I've raised the image quality of the left image for this side-by-side view. Also, I know zero about cameos. To me both exhibit Art and Craft. Not seeing the arms is fine and does not detract from either image. Also, I see each as bodies floating, so the vial is just in the air. The carved detail, deep or shallow, I like the more defined cut. The musician's left hand holding the lyre on the orange cameo is a deal breaker as to who's the better artist. It's not the grip one would naturally hold that instrument and it looks bad. Try to comfortably get your hand in that position. All five fingers should not be positioned as carved. Because of that hand, it's my artistic viewpoint that the cameo with the dark background gets the blue ribbon in the Art portion of this discussion. If it were not for that hand, it would only come down to liking subtle or bold figures. James.[/QUOTE]
