I love the flexibility and creativity allowed in Photoshop.  Images that suggest further development can be manipulated and enhanced to bring out the intended emotion felt when the shot was done.  We are not limited by just recording the real image but can let our immagination run free. Paulette (my model) was the essense of youth, beauty, and strength.  I tried to bring these feelings forward in my photo.
