Karin, I understood what you meant - it was I who wasn't clear. I meant that I enjoyed the challenge of taking material that was less than perfect and, through use of a lot of reference photos, making it into a good portrait - one that is a far better depiction of the subjects than my raw material is.
I also enjoy the challenge of "cutting and pasting" in my head so that I can use the best elements of one photo combined with what works in others. But that's a different issue and I know most of us do that!
Happy New Year, by the way!
