This photo did not turn out

the way I expected,

at all.

No. I chose a very high gloss background and aimed just right. I thought it would all be much more clear, much more obviously smooth.

But look!

Up close. (Click on the photo.)

I was shocked at the amount of texture hiding on this high gloss surface. Just shocked.

So, surprise! Texture on an absolutely smooth surface. Who’d have thought?
