Must an artist copy just as a photo?

Dear colleagues,

When I have received this photo, at once I've noticed some drawbacks in it (position of hands, color, etc.). Conditions of the work were such - to paint precisely, as a photo. I've made bold and have changed position of hands, a model's look and something added from me. You see the result. How you consider, has an artist the right to make alterations, painting a portrait from a photo? And where are the limits of creativity closed for the artist painting from a photo? I wonder, how do you act in such cases, colleagues?
Andrey.
