An ethical question?

[Tess (Tassie D)]

I'm working on 2 photos at the moment, group shots at a function. Two of the people are in both photos and the girl has her eyes shut in one, looks like she blinked.
Question is do I take her eys from the good one and put them on the closed eyes? I know we're not supposed to alter pics in some areas, is this one of them?

 I would leave them as they were, she may be sorry she had her eyes shut, but she will remember that she did.

Tassie,

I'm really glad you asked this question.

Max is right. Please keep in mind that our first priority is to maintain the integrity of the memory that the photo evokes. The girl's closed eyes in this photo are part of the memory. It may not be a perfect memory, but it is what it is.

Yeah I kind of thought so anyway. Thats why they're called snapshots, people with eyes closed, looking the wrong way etc. I have plenty of them in my photo albums.  ;D
