To expand on this thought, I should mention that one must obviously pay attention to details and strive for perfection in the exposure. But when something does go wrong, it's okay to fix it later. And in regard to Frank's image, yes it was probably not as well thought out as it should have been. And it might well be easier to reshoot than to fix. But fixing it is a challenge and a good exercise. I never hesitate to undertake a post job that might enhance my skills. Being more capable is a good thing.
