I think your conclusion is all that matters to me really. Once a story
takes over -- I love looking at the man and his children as there is so
much going on there -- I no longer think about grading the assignment.
Photoshop can improve an image technically but adds nothing of substance
if the story is not there. Not saying every photograph should have a
story, but when it does it just does.
