You only get once chance to get the shot right and the only person you do a disservice to when you don't take control is yourself. When you've overlooked important details - such as getting everyone's ties straight, shirts down, etc. - it's up to you to make it right. The benefit of spending a few extra minutes when you're taking the shot is avoiding hours of post-processing.
Luckily this past Sunday I was able to get most of the shot right - even lightening across the band members so that the overall post-processing took less than an hour. Can you spot the details that I missed when I shot the photo and the polish I added?
