@KatHarzso I attempted to do a screen recording but I didn't have the software so I downloaded one and managed to fuck it up twice and have nothing to show.

In Adobe Camera Raw I did these setting: https://files.catbox.moe/f0wjmm.PNG +
Optics> Ticked: remove Chromatic Aberation & Use profile corrections: Setup> Auto

Photoshop Layers: https://files.catbox.moe/rd21uz.PNG
All the Layers with layer masks are blended in luminosity mode except Vibrance which is blended to colour. Eye lighten is around the "lash line" and a dash on the feathers directly on the right of the eye.
Feather contrast is a high contrast layer with a black (hidden) layer mask where I painted it on (white) on low opacity where desired. Then I stamped all the layers (ctrl+shift+3?) and used Filter>Sharpen>unsharp mask to sharpen by eye at 100% zoom or greater (Amount:108% Radius:2.5 Threshold 46).

I hope you like it. I had fun fiddling around with someone else's raw file :)

Yeah that's a good idea, will pull the background back down when I get some free time (should only a take a minute but.. kids).

I don't have a lot of free time as the young one doesn't sleep anymore but for sure will let you know :) Any questions on shooting or editing anytime just ask!

I did used to be a real wiz on photoshop but since baby / kid stuff has taken over my brain I know what is possible it just take me a while to remember how to do it! Plus I only upgraded my photoshop fairly recently after not having a computer that could run it for years, so lots of update stuff I'm still working out. I still enjoy it but the frustration is real!
