after...
Pretty amazing what an added light, a little gel, and an adjusted exposure can do to an image. This led us to an interesting conversation about pushing the envelope in terms of portraiture, and how much playing around is too much. The sky certainly did NOT look like this to our eyes (see above!) so are we lying if we show this image to a viewer, and they assume this was the natural setting? How much liberty are you given with an image if you call it a portrait? How much influence is assumed to have been exerted by the photographer when you use this label?? Interesting stuff...
