I followed a tutorial for retouching eyes!

Thanks to the traveler for sharing the webpage, I found a tutorial that does very light retouching to eyes.

I'm ASSuming that this retouching is meant to be done with studio portraits. Oh well, I did it for an ambient light photo

Here's the link for anyone interested

Before/After (nothing else was done except for the eyes)

Thanks. I thought it was too much work, but I think it'll be faster now that I got the hang of it. I think the subtle effect really changes the picture Any more feedback appreciated.

i think the left eye (from viewers standpoint) is effective, but honestly, i feel the white is too white on the right side. that eye does seem to be slightly shadowed, so i think the less drastic white was better on that eye.
the iris color came out great on the left eye.
