If an image appears that it has been worked on, that is not good photoshopping. The goal is to make it look normal, natural and unaltered.

I also try to achieve this result, but I am far from the master that BSmile is. He is da Man. He should be in that field and making big bucks. In my supremely humble opinion.
Thanx Bill....I try. All it really takes is several thousand hours of practice :
