Wet nose on mounts

Just curious if many get the wet nose done on there mounts. I just got this one back this summer and my taxi that did it adds the wet nose and tiny beads/bumps on it. I think it really looks good when he does this for me. Attached is the latest with the turn back style. Don't know if I like the pose but will live with it. I killed a good one this year and have yet to chose a pose. I have a hard time choosing poses. I guess thats a good problem to have. I see many mounts that don't do the wet nose look. what are opinions please.

Cannot see the pics.

Here is one of my favorite reference pictures of a live deer nose. I try to achieve this look on my mounts.

Thanks Jordan, but how come I can't get those pics bigger. I uploeaded to my pics but then things fall apart while attaching.
 
The wet look is done with a spray can of Krylon Crystal Clear Glaze.. Or at least that's how I do it and it turns out well. The texture is probably the more difficult part.
 
Notice from the pic I posted, a whitetail deer nose is not black like most mounts have. That is my biggest pet peeve with most taxidermists..

Yes! I believe there is a taxidermist from Indiana that does this, and Imo, his finishing work is the best I've come acrossed. Though, for some clients, It can be a bit much, which is understandable. Personally, it just depends on the deer. I really like the appearance for an early season buck mount.​

Haha, most definitely, Like a flat Black. Almost to say that some used a black acrylic paint used in art class. I have a mount of my grandfathers that's on the wall that has just an all black nose, but yet, that was mounted in the 1960s - early 1970s so it gets a pass.

Hill, if you pm/email me those photos files I may be able to re post those making them bigger.
