In the Garden with a FriendThe ability to alter a photograph for the purpose of creating a mood or feeling is the mark of a photo-artist.  They are taking the original shot and converting it to their own vision beyond what the camera can achieve.  They start with a good image and mold it to a new vision.

This image has been modified to give the effect of a hand tinted photograph which gives a soft low key effect.  I can see where this image could be used in the greeting card industry.  The viewer should take note that this photo-artiest started with a very good original with excellent subject, story and composting and only then altered the result to a slightly different vision.

The child has an interesting expression.  Very natural and engaging with a slight pout, a little bit of Shirley Temple.
