Keep in mind that you
are seeing much more in the photo than you can see with the naked eye,
most times over 20x magnification. Dust, fingerprints and flash
reflections are exaggerated in photographs. Smaller sizes will have
progressively less color saturation than photo. If you are concerned
about anything you see in our photos, contact us for more detail.
