Catchlights in deer's eyes

[CanonGirl]

Just wondering how I would add catchlights to a deer's eye?  I never had to do it on a deer, I am not sure how it even supposed to look like.  The eye looks dead without the catchlight.  It's the eye on your right (deer's left eye) that needs it.

Is this the full sized photo or did you post a crop?

Can you get your crop like this please instead? http://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html It helps make sure your crop isn't stretched or resized so that we know exactly what we are seeing.

Is this SOOR, or has there been some Photoshop work done also?

it's pretty much a finished image (ACR and Photoshop)

May I see the 100% crop from the SOOR?

I would prefer not to post 100% resolution publicly, can I email it to you?

[Damien Symonds]

Nope.  Here or nowhere.

[Damien Symonds]

What on earth is the problem?  You've already posted a 100% crop.  I just want another one, from the SOOR.

[CanonGirl]

just to clarify, you want the uncropped image? or the cropped, but straight out of camera?

[Damien Symonds]

A 100% crop!!!!  700x700 pixels, exactly as you did before.

From the SOOR - that is, with the raw editing done, but no Photoshop work.

ok, I am still slightly confused, would this work?  This is SOOC, no ACR work at all, no cropping, no resizing, just blacked out the rest of the image

I didn't see the last 2 posts, I must have been typing while you posted them.  This is after ACR.  There is somebody without a model release in the picture, that's why I can't post the whole picture.

Thanks.

What you've done is great, and I believe completely adequate.  We wouldn't expect to see a catchlight in an eye down there near the ground, on either an animal or a person.

If you like, just dodge the outermost part of the eye a bit, to lighten it a bit more.

That deer was pretty close to me, and his eyes just looked black, there was no black pupil, and colored iris.  I guess studying anatomy of the deer eye will be on my list now LOL

"100% crop" trips me up, I guess.  To me "100%" is uncropped image, and "crop" is cropped; put them together, and you got me. 

Thank you!

100% like "zoomed in to 100%".
