Formulate the problem in writing:

​My daughter recently got married in Washington, D.C., and it was a beautiful day. There was a freak snowstorm, however, that put a layer of white snow down before the ceremony.

One of the guests invited a friend who had beautiful bright pink hair. There was no seating chart, and the friend sat on the aisle toward the front of the ceremony. In the video and most of the photos taken of the ceremony, with the white-snow backdrop, the friend with the bright pink hair distracts your gaze so much that it takes away from the focus of the wedding: the bride and groom.

Would it be ethical to replace the hair digitally with a more neutral-colored hair? Or would it be disrespectful to the pink-haired guest?
