  I think you need to increase the exposure slightly. I'm not a fan of the shadows in the fields. How many light sources are you using? The detail looks good, though.

  Jon if you could get them all to look like the picture you took of the 20S everything would be good. Central Details are showing up nicely but then going toward the rims they seem a little mushy. Maybe a hair more light?

  Noticed the same thing on your 19's.

  I use mostly sunlight. I have 4 Kia lights that I mix in to get the best matching image I can. My camera is a Dini-Lite.....so my pics will not look like Todd's or John's (messydesk) or TV's. I am just trying to get the best I can from what I have to work with.

  First 2 pics are not very good. Look at the nose on the obv.
  The 3rd is ok.

  They are improving, better than your previous work-- the color of your lighting makes them look a bit on the yellow side.
  But way better than my phone pics!
