Bill, I know what you mean about the black being flat but I think the one where you gave it a little more texture adds to it a little bit.

If it helps, for some reason I don't imagine, and it could just be me, the black part as perfectly smooth but either a little convex or concave.  I guess materials used could also play a part in it.  If we are talking about modern stained glass windows then a flat black plastic would be perfectly reasonable.  However if we were to talk about something before the advent of plastics or modern machining capabilities then I would expect something at least a little non-perfect.  Do you understand what I'm trying to get at?

Anyways the pictures look nice.

WARK!
