I suggested that the roundness or size of the eyeball had been retouched, because it's a meme.
If that was your point then my point was that the retouching, if any, had taken place prior to 2013 when the image was originally published, or at least used by National Geographic. Not all memes require retouching or any other modification of a "real" or 'original" photo.
in fact nothing about that photo looks like it's from a pro photographer
As noted above the photo is credited to Joel Satore https://www.joelsartore.com/ who seems to be making more money from his photographs than we are making by discussing it. That fits my definition of professional. Given some of your other comments about photography perhaps you should consider the possibility that people who don't do something to your standards or esthetics can nevertheless be considered professional.
