I have to disagree with this statement. These are great photos which capture the gun in it's absolute best. It is what it is.

In very bright sunlight or a dark room certainly the gun won't appear as shown in the photos. We do not see objects, rather we see only the light which is reflected from an object. A great photographer can set up shots so that the maximum desirable light is reflected into the lens. Now, on our computer monitor screen the light is projected outward. So, what we see in person and what we see on a computer or TV screen are different even for the same object. Finally, each of our vision is different. What I see will be different even if ever so slightly that what another sees looking at the same thing at the same instant.

The gun with it's Damascus (or laminated for this gun) pattern, case colors, and great wood finish is all of what we see in the photos. Poor photography just won't show the ALL of the beauty of the gun. I like nice photos!
