Douglas mon ami,

But that's cheating! 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. MAYBE?

cheers,
ted
