This is beauty! I totally agree with Ryan, As long as you know what you have clicked and wht you want it to look like it is fine. Playing with hue, sat, brightness and contra is all part of the game. Post processing sux when one adds butterflies, clouds, stars and hearts to a snap! Take your snaps in natural settings and enhance the quality.. that is how you make things look much more beautiful, not that you have to pose that you are an excellent photographer. End of the day, the subject should look goood. That is what photography is all about A beautiful composition, a nice expression and a good heart all in one snap. This is beauty!

The best pros in the world use Photoshop constantly. Even in the days of film, there were many techniques done in the darkroom that equaled the "photoshop" of the day. In my opinion, a good photographer can visualize a shot based on what it could ultimately be, utilizing all of his or her tools, including Photoshop.

Sometimes I am amazed of how much work a good photo requires, nonetheless the result makes it worth. I really expected this shot was taken in a studio, but after reading your article I am more confident that some day I'll achieve better results. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.

Listening to someone "think through a shot" can sometimes teach me more than a dozen chapter in a photog book. Your use of ingenuity, creativity, and a little pp yielded studio-quality results. Great tips and tricks! Thanks for sharing your outstanding image and your thoughts, Jared.

However, I think it's great what you did getting her expression and her proximity, I think it's really great.
