Over there------->
you right,but y reduce the light to add more dramatic contrast,but in the capture light are hard in her back :)
this is the original,just convert from raw to jpg add signature and convert to srgb,its a little over exposed maybe 0,5.I calibrated my iMac whit spider 3 elite,maybe this help.

Better yet, how about getting your camera out again and encouraging the cat to face the light? No amount of post-processing is going to make this a well lit photo; you need to re-shoot it.

Was asked by a local director to do promo shots for her upcoming play. This actress was very fun to shoot...:

I'd have used some fill from the left to get rid of that annoying neck shadow and a gridded hair light and background light to bring her out of the background. She's almost got a Mona Lisa smile, it'd be worth a reshoot to me!

Very creative, looks a bit like a semi abstract painting. Great composition too, nice work!

Thank you very much for the kind words :) Dunno why, but these reflections always look better rotated. Must be human perception of not wanting anything turned upside down.

Good point. I was aware of that annoying line created by the shadow, and attempted to rid as much of it in PP... Unfortunately, I was short pressed on where/when I could shoot, and under what lighting. =[

Here's another from the same set:
