not denying your prep work, but those 'after' pics have the contrast turned up to the max (relative to 'before' pics) - which does heighten gloss and reflection in pics

Thanks

Lighting is totally different... The befores were before the sun was just coming up and we were surrounded by trees and the afters are during the glow of dusk in an open area... I cannot comment on what (if anything) was done to the non HDR pics, I will have to ask my photographer
