Damion, metals and flesh tones look great. The reds are nice but look as if they can use more contrast. Especially shadows. Really nice work and MUCH better photos!
As I metioned in your first post, this is nice and really motivates me to get this bust.
It really is hard to take good pics of very shiny figures. I have the same problem. I have found that a brown or blue background helps cut down on the glare as does using a cloth instead of paper.
