for meaningful butterface assessment you have to FIRST post pics with face removed, either via cropping or, preferably, just blocked out, then RE-POST the same pics later showing the face
the point of butterface is the extreme contrast of wood ferocity from seeing the body, juxtaposed against rapid softening caused by seeing the face
if you see the face first, the initial wood ferocity never materializes
