The photo shown below (left) was taken during a nighttime patio party. It was one of those “hey look at the camera and shoot” moments.  I used a camera mounted flash with a diffuser and everything set on Auto. The pose looked great, but those hot spots and the background did not look so good. In addition, the eyes and teeth looked dull and yellow. The young woman actually has very white teeth and sparkling eyes. After reviewing the image, I felt I could make some minor adjustments without taking away from the candid pose and changing the real appearance of the subject. Both photos were cropped to fit an 8x10 print.
