Well, David, continue to pat yourself on the back for being one of the chosen that can truly see how bad that image is. BTW, that isn't the original, as shot image. Do you have the original? Or is this image something you've dug up from the Internet to prove yourself as the be-all, end-all of image editing? You haven't got much of a clue about any work-flow that is for your own, myopic POV. If you shoot digital, for instance, do you review a shot on the dinky little screen on the camera? If you could tether to something larger to truly judge the composition and overall lighting, why not? It's better than the little screen. Or do you take it on faith (or your own perfect sense of how the image came out) and wait until they are on that perfect color-correcting machine you have? Get real.
