I agree up to a point. I think the young lady is probably aware of the
tan lines she has and posed anyway. Unless she has requested their
removal, don't go messing about with them.
Oddly enough, the girl's mother mentioned her tan lines before we met up
to do the session. She'd been approached by some outfit after a pageant
to do some photos of the girl, and they apparently had a lot of
strictures -- including one against tan lines. She never went through
with the photo shoot because the girl was even younger than she is now
by a couple of years, and they were talking about doing some shots that
were a bit too risque for her comfort. (I have to say I was gratified to
learn that, given what some parents are willing to let people do with
their children in hopes of making them stars.)
In any event, I made a compromise and decided to clone them out a bit
just to make them less distracting, but not obsess over it.
