Which one is better?
I carved this sign as part of the header for my website. I took several photos, and am having a hard time choosing between #1 daylight in the shade and #2, daylight in the sun. They each have good points, for example, #1 displays softer features and shows more expression, ie, the eyes. #2 appears more "crisp" to me and the shadowing exhibits the depth and under carving of the lettering, which I like a lot, but is a little harsh, and loses the expression in the eyes. #2 has been edited only in the way of the text color, background shadowing and mirror effect. So I guess the question is, #1 shade or #2 sun light shadow?

#1 for me, #2 is too busy with the reflection and takes the eyes away from the details IMHO

Also think the black line after the top text shouldn't be there.

#1 in post 10, #2 looks artificial and washed out.

I like the one that is on post #11.
I agree with DJ, it does look more natural.
I too must also add that it is a pretty good piece of carving you have done.
