Camera's are great for exposing every little imperfection as "larger than life", and are hopeless at attempting to display shiny objects well. A guy visited the other day and had a look at the Silver/G5 block and was utterly amazed at how much shinier it was in real life in comparison to the pictures.
The color of the adhesive is very close in "color" to the barbs, and that's why you don't see it in real life. It's just that cameras tend to highlight contrasting reflectivity very strongly and no matter what I do, the barb goop always comes out looking about ten times worse than it does in real life.
