How does this Idealscope look?

Can anyone comment on this Idealscope? Any major problems?

I guess I am a little ignorant (again)!!

What is it that makes an idealscope "look great"? I know white is bad...some spots are a bit pale... how can i compare this to another idealscope?

A few of the lower girdle facets are a little steep but not to bad, just partial leakage.
The IS image is in the EX range.
Sad thing is they could have totally eliminated the leakage by extending the lgf% by 2% and kept the same weight.

The pale spots around the edges are controlled leakage which can help desirable visual properties in the diamond, nothing to worry about.

Maybe the best thing I can do is to link you to some IS examples and tutorials so you can read up and compare, as you will soon see this is a very good IS image.
