Is there a name for the effect of objects that are normally glossy
being flatter when viewed from a distance?
I'm not sure I know what you mean. Glints from ocean waves are visible
from orbit.
Perhaps the effect is due to geometry--a distant specular reflector will
be reflecting light from a small solid angle. Under constant
illumination conditions, this will tend to make the reflection more uniform.
