I was asked to take a photo of a friendso that he can use the picture for one of those social networking sites Mytwitterfacespace or something like that. He also wanted me to edit it so that I can minimize what he believes to be are flaws. He gave me free reign to do as I seem fit. I have only begun to practice doing such work. This is the first time I have done so by request.
I tried to edit the picture in a way that, outside of subtle alterations, he is relatively unchanged. I tried to maintain natural skin colour and texture without looking "fake" or "airbrushed." Did I overdo it? Does anyone with more experience have any tips or advice?
