Yeah oddly, great pieces like my Fury of the Beast, Big Chap Maquette, PCS Goro, Diablo Overthrown, Chronicle Cain and many others come out great even if I take crappy phone pictures, you can tell by looking at them that they're quality statues.
Then, oddly again, it's all "if you look at it from that angle, under that lighting and only consider that portion of statue, it looks good" for pieces like the Superman Reeve or MOS PF or the Iron Patriot and many others.
Seems too much of a coincidence - but what do I know
Truly great statues are the ones that look great from any angle and distance. You're settling if you have to say well it looks great from this angle etc. I'm sure we all have a statue in our collection that we say that about though.
