Corn Bandit and eyes...

[M38A1]

This weekend while cooking some 'que for my niece, this guy cruised up to within a few feet of me. Having my camera right there I snapped this photo.

Photographically, how do you handle the eyes on shots like these? Is there an exposure control, or would the 'red eye' function work on this the same as people? Do you just fill them in with a dimmer gold in post-processing? Make 'em neon green for a freaky pic? Any help is appreciated!

Should Have shot him after you got a shot of him

Cool pic! I just fill them in post processing. Either use a red eye function (Lightroom), or just pic the eye color (using the dropper) from right next to the glow, and then fill it in the reflected part of the eye. Looks very natural that way.
