Britney Spears was taking full advantage of the beautiful summer day in Southern California and went outside to practice her photography skills. No doubt, the Princess of Pop has posed for hundreds of thousands, possibly, millions of photos of the years, so she's gained some appreciation for the skill of blending light and shadows. Even though it seemed just like a normal post for Spears, who shares much of her daily life with fans, many responded to her post with some worry and want to double check that the star is doing ok.

38-year-old Britney Spears shared a photo with her near 25 million followers on Friday afternoon while taking a walk near her home.

"t’s nice to go outside and shoot ??? .... the natural light always reveals the magic in the eyes ☀️?? !!!!!! Ps no photoshop on this photo !!!!!!" Spears captioned a close up photo of her face mixed in light and shadows.

It was also important for Spears to point out that she didn't do any editing to her picture, as trolls have accused her of photoshopping images in the past.

Although many fans praised Spears for her photography outing, there was a good number of fans who expressed concern over a growing number of manic-type posts by the pop star.

"Girl you okay? Love you + your work but you seem.. off," one concerned fan wrote.

"Britney we all love you ? we want you to be ok!" a second fan proclaimed to the star.

Others made it clear that Spears is a "natural beauty," and loved that fact that she continues to interact with fans on a daily basis.

In the midst of everyone constantly judging Britney Spears' social media posts, the star defended herself and let everyone know that everything is just fine.

"I get how some people might not like my posts or even understand them, but this is Me being happy ….. this is Me being authentic and as real as it gets !!!!! I want to inspire people to do the same and just be themselves without pleasing others ….. that’s the key to happiness," Spears wrote on Friday afternoon.

Many fans agreed with her stance, while others still weren't buying what she was selling.
