Hard key from above, the veins reading dark against true black beneath. Skin oiled and photoreal, pores and freckles sharp. flat saturated ground, extremely high tonal separation, one hard specular event, dense fine detail held sharp, skin oiled and photoreal with pores held sharp, no grain. the ground colour at full strength with no grey or washed areas, deep true black across a large part of the frame, the specular highlights small and contained with no blown-out white areas
