Good call Fred. I'd love to be there!
By its very nature any image processing will distort the representation of an object being imaged....and this I have no problem with so long as the spatial and chromatic relationships are preserved reasonably well. As David Malin says: the image still "respects the light". If a subtle feature is being enhanced, you are still showing something that is real...just normally harder to see. ( It's hard to argue against using filters, like reading glasses, to better see the world)
But what do we make of arbitrary adjustments that do everything but that? "Art" would be one description, hey... and if that floats your boat...go right ahead.
I simply choose not to. I find nature is remarkable enough, without the urge to Photoshop Uluru to look green at sunset
