If it were an advertisement and selling cars , boats etc. One can fiddle it any old way one wishes. Why? Well most advertising images are faked, changed, sun added, moon added, diver angle changed.? WHATEVER!!!!! However when I look at Tina's photos I only see and appreciate the beauty of a reality moment captured in true simple magic! WHY? Well Tina is an absolutely incredible, "PHOTOJOURNALIST!" And we photojournalist's don't cheat.... WELL WE DON'T! WELL? ;-) I'll never tell! :-) The advert guys and gals "are producing an image that isn't a captured real life moment. SO WHO CARES?" ERGO? Leave the image alone physically other than for a possible minimal tweak of colour or brightness.
