You can’t generally see distinct images on any scale in glossy

<p>It's not correct. <i>Shiny</i> refers to being bright with
reflected light, but that light doesn't have to form an image.
Here's an example of a shiny rock in which you can see no image: <a

<p>Meanwhile, it can be possible to see images in glossy surfaces,
but it's not required. Here's an example of a glossy bowl in which
you can clearly see a reflection, but <i>shiny</i> would
definitely not be the first word I reached for to describe the
bowl:

<p>And here's an example of an obsidian ball which clearly shows
reflections, but which I certainly wouldn't call shiny:
