Image Processing Advice

[Joe94]

I've been practising with 1:1 Macro, using Olympus EM5.3 with 60mm, manual focus & handheld focus stacking.

I did some light processing in Lightroom Classic as I didn't think the image needed much doing to it, however the only thing I would have liked to do and couldn't work out the best way to do it; was how best to make the eyes look more rounded, as at the moment the image shows the eyes with white highlighted areas at the top & would have liked them to look more rounded/smoother and natural plus a bit of extra colour, but still retaining detail?

Many thanks in advance,
Joe

Hi Joe

Is the lack of rounded look more to do with the shape of the light being reflected in the original image than a post processing question? Not sure this is something you can fix in post, at least not simply.
