Thanks, Neil. You might be on to something. But …

With both images I selected the eye and the lores only, applied some Topaz Sharpen AI, and then reduced that layer to 75% opacity. The eyes were not lightened. And there was no sharpening below the bird’s head in Image #2. So either you have amazing eyesight or you are imagining things. Anyhoo, I will cut back to 50% next time I sharpen an eye with Sharpen AI.

with love, artie

ps: I will post #1 to BPN where there are lots of eagle-eyed folks.
