Bon Jour Philippe,

So beautifully soft and gentle as this sweet young girl should be! It has a
kind of "classic look of the olden days." 

And the tiny simple catch light in each eye gives the child the warmth of
life! :-) Wonderful.

 

You know, I don't think you need to "confess" you used PS to tidy away the
chocolate at the corner of her mouth. That's nobodies business other than
yours as the photographer. It's corrected as it should be, therefore no need
to say anything.

 

By admitting you did this, there are viewers who could make some stupid
negative comment about using Pshop! Look at it this way. "To hell with them,
what they don't know wont hurt them! Besides you've done it so well no one
can see where you cleaned up anyway. Therefore?

 

Let the photograph stand as it's seen, a beautiful portrait of a sweet young
lady!

 

And shot at 1600? It's beautiful! If it took a setting of ASA 1600 to
capture this moment so be it! And who cares? It's a beautiful moment even if
it were at 100, 1600 or 3200! It's the end product that counts and you have
shown an excellent photograph. The frantic ASA types where everything must
be as slow as possible ASA rating,  my response is as usual. "get stuffed,
look at the end product!"

 

Obviously if it were possible to shoot at ASA 100, I know you'd have used
the slower rating as anyone of us would do. The bottom line is.... get the
picture at the best ASA that ensures the successful captured moment!  It's
called. "KISS!" 

Cheers,

Dr. ted.
