Catchlights in deer's eyes

Recommended Posts

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.

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!
