Two idealscope images, which do you like?

[pyle112]

Both are the same color and clarity, similar HCA scores and ideal cuts (AGS ideal 0 cut grade equivalent). Left has GIA excellent symmetry and polish, right has AGS excellent symmetry and polish. Will the one on the right with the darker spots of color in the center "sparkle" more? Will it have more leakage because of the grays in the center or is this simply a result of the differences in contrast of the photos?

I don''t think you can make a reasonable comparison of the partial leakage (grays) in both pictures because the background lighting/photo exposures are different.

Ditto, those are both great images.

It's just different lighting issues/setups when taking the photos. Either stone will be a knockout. If you had both diamonds in front of you, you'd be hard pressed to tell which was which.
