Are you saying you think changing angles/lighting like this DOES show how much correction was achieved?? If so I STRONGLY disagree, I can make any finish look good using the right angle in no/low light.. Give me a head on, full sunlight/sunburst shot with no swirls to get me to buy in...

Just wondering if I understood you correctly because I am sure we are in agreement and I am just reading your post wrong?
