It never fails that you will get the best photo of a child, best facial expresion, most natural smile, unbelievably touching moment and have a perfect shot… that is except for one teeny-tiny detail.
Unfortunately no matter how many times you try to fix the detail and recreate the “perfect shot” it is near impossible to get it just right without the assistance of Photoshop.
Sometimes its a piece of hair out of place, or an eyelash on a cheek, or some drool. Other times its more comical.
My favorite example of this was a very touching moment between grandmother and grandchild—lets just say it brought tears to my eyes…
…until I realized where little Vincent’s hand was and what it was doing. While composing the shot and capturing it, I failed to see that Vincent decided to flip me off. And it wasn’t just that his middle finger was raised a bit more than his others—it was as if he was a hand model for a book of inappropriate gestures. Perfect form.
Had I access to Photoshop it would have been a relatively easy fix. However corprate does not allow us to have it. So then I was faced with a dilemma—point it out or hope that they are so fucused on the connection between Vincent & grandma that they don’t notice it…
What would you do?
