<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 960899, member: 5833"]Think the difference was more that seller, like me, probably leaves camera on automatic. Camera did a great job with the dark background, but to get that right the cameo figures got overexposed. I put the cameo on a glossy, off-white, sheet of paper & used light from window. Compared to the paper, the cameo is dark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cupid's right wing really stands away in fairly high relief. I dithered about buying this one, because I don't really collect 20th century, but proportions of figures was so good, detail had to be better too. Very happy with it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
