Doesn't really matter what it's a photo of.
It's just one of those things you do for a good print. Single
catch-light in each eye. If the double catch-light in the other eye had
been separated just a tiny bit more, the second light would have to go
from that eye as well.
Portraiture print competition rules for PPONC.
The final exam for my retouching class was removing reflections from
glasses on an 8x10 glossy print; head shot. Had to be undetectable when
viewed at arms length.
It's a lot easier to do in photoshop than it was having to do it on
actual prints.
