How are the seams finished?

I notice that you can still see the nails/screws. Just wondering what you did with the seams between the panels? Are they finished or left as is?

It is a hardi-backer cement panel. It is normally mounted before you put the tile or other finish up. As mentioned in a previous question, the client liked it so much we kept it!
