is it possible to edit

Please, no need to actually do it. Don't bother please
I'm just wondering, if it is possible to get rid of the "unwanted" hair.
This is taken at communion and there is no time to alter anything.
I guess the mum will be wondering why she didn't opt for another hairstyle.

I would say that yes, it is possible to edit this image. One would need the original image of course, then it would be a lot cloning and replacement work. The main consideration would be the inside corner of the right eye and the right side of her nose, these would have to drawn/painted or cloned from another source. Quite a bit of work I would imagine in order to get it right.

Personally since you can easily recognize the child, I would leave it well enough alone.

I hopped to the left in a flash, because from the right, it was even worse :mrgreen:

you could also (if you really needed to) take another photo with her hair tied back, same ish pose and edit it in, would cut out some of the cloning time i would of thought.

I love the child as she is too. It's expressive, distinguished and prominent to my humble opinion

Were it my child I would leave it alone...

I have to agree with the others. This is an accurate representation of what this pretty little girl looked like at that moment in time. As a mother myself, I would rather have that than anything created with bent pixels.

Just playing around with it for a few minutes (much more care and time needed) with the low-resolution shot it is entirely possible, the work involved very tedious though, even the high-resolution would be questionable

Personally.... I'd leave it alone. Adds to the charm of the moment... "purity and innocence of a child"......

I agree with everyone to leave it as it is. Even the best retouch job couldn't fix this one to look natural.

She's cute as the proverbial "button". Leave it alone, IMHO.

of course, I ask the priest to rewind that day...

Yep, cute as a button and the truth of the moment. I would adore her if she were mine.

This is the kind of precious picture some photographers aspire to take. The "decisive moment."

I don't agree, see I know these people want everything to be perfect on the special day. We had brides asking to remove certain pictures because their arm/leg/whatever looked big :banghead:
O well, too late now.
