CommentWith a photo such as this where the eye is dark and the light has not caught the eye, to me the image is not as "alive" as it would be with light reflecing from the eye. Is it possble to alter this in post processing. (I use Luminar4, which has similar options to Lightroom for many things). Also if you were to use the photo for a competition, is altering an eye to improve reflectance an acceptable modification?
