When processing I masked the eye and brought up the exposure to get detail. This has become almost a standard with bird pictures for me. In fact I ended up doing a second radial mask to bring the pupil back to dark as reflections came up with the exposure adjustment. Anyway, I notice that looking at prothonotary warbler pictures online they all have solid black eyes. I find the detail in the eyes to be much more pleasing, but should I, since it looks like it might be unnatural for this species? The last two had a much less noticeable adjustment made, but I did make the irises visible vs the more or less solid black of the original. Looking at the description for this bird, it lists them as having dark eyes.</p></blockquote><p></p>
