the more photos I take, the more I realize that the magic is in the diffusion / reflection of light, which can produce very different looks for the same watch using the same light source.

so in between the wash-out (that the white can produce) and the harshness and loss of detail (from the black), what will gray produce??

thanks for the research and samples.
