This is the same photograph with a little work done to it. The dark areas have been darkened a little. The face has been smoothed and the blemishes removed. The eyes are enhanced, bringing out the beautiful blue. The hair is also softened but not as much as the skin. It has a shine to it.
I think it is a more attractive image to make into a print and display. Years ago before digital. You might say in the horse and buggy days, Photographers would send their selected images in to the photo lab where they would print the picture and then painstakingly hand color the photograph to hide any minor flaws. Those days are gone for the most part and now the work is done by the photographer or his assistant.
