Customer Wants and Matching it With Your Work

[dtzitko]

A perfect example of how different industries/businesses/professions perceive how photography portrays the business and how much weight is put on the actual subject itself as opposed to the composition and quality of the photo. Also, a perfect example of exactly how subjective the art of photography really is.

I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but how about a photoshop job?

Since the main "issue" is in the legs, you may be able to fake it. I would use the pen tool and trace them out. Then invert the selection and erase (dodge/burn/healing tool, etc) the blurry area, then soften the edge. I don't know how this would turn out - it could work, or could look horrible. But as I don't see many other options, it would be worth a try.

For this shot i would not have used flash to get blur, i'm not sure why they like it so much, colours don't look right, tail is cut off i think the flash has spoilt it, use a higher ISO because the D700 is meant to be good
